xBrowse Gradient-Background

[ukoenig]

Hello,

because of the new xBrowse-Background-Functions ( stretching ),
I finished my Tool to define any Gradient, resize and save as BMP
and test as xBrowse-Background.
For a xBrowse-Test, You can load any saved Gradient-BMP from the
Sub-Directory /Images and add Font and Fontcolor.
It also can be used, for a quick Gradient-Array Define
or just get the Color-Values.
The Gradient-Array You can copy from the Bottom of the Gradient-Preview.
I still have to add Font and Fontcolor for the xBrowse-Test.
As soon it is finished, I will put it on this place for Download.

I noticed : without Footer, the Background is not stretched completely to the Bottom
of the Browser ( You can see this in the xBrowse-Preview, it shows a small 2 mm tiled Part )
Much better to see in Screenshot 2, there is the last Row shown tiled.

The Gradient-Tool :

Harvey,

I think it will be finished this Weekend for Download.
Font-Select and Color-Select for xBrowse-Test, I have still to add.

The colors in the browse look great. I look forward to testing it.

Hello Harvey,

I added the Font and Fontcolor-Define for the xBrowse-Test.
Still any ideas, to add something ?

Uwe,

As of now, stretching background image is working perfectly in case of xbrowse created from code both in windows and dialogs, but not in xbrowse created from resource.

In case of browse created from resource, stretch is working only in the area occupied the data cells, and rest of the area is
pained tiled. This is fixed in version 9.07 under release.

Antonio,

Thank You very much for the Information.
For the Tool, I use only Resources.
I think, using a Photo ( many Colors ), nobody will notice it.
It is just the Gradient-BMP, where 2 Colors are used.
I will finish the Tool this Weekend and make a Update after the new FWH-release.

Best Regards
Uwe

Antonio,

carry on with testing, I noticed the following with
oBrw:SetBackGround( cFile, BCK_STRETCH )



Loading the Dialog with a new Image, it works only with ON INIT.
Loading a Image from inside the Dialog, it is OK.

------------------------------------
DBSELECTAREA(2)
REDEFINE XBROWSE oBrw ID 110 OF oDlg5 AUTOCOLS ALIAS "Customer"

Doesn't work at Start !!! ( only from inside the Dialog ).
The Image is shown Tiled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
oBrw:SetBackGround( cFile, BCK_STRETCH )

oBrw:nColDividerStyle := LINESTYLE_BLACK
oBrw:nRowDividerStyle := LINESTYLE_BLACK
oBrw:nMarqueeStyle := MARQSTYLE_HIGHLROW
oBrw:bClrSel = { || { 0, 16314573 } }
AEval( oBrw:aCols, { |o| o:oDataFont := oFONT } )
oBrw:bClrStd := { || { D_TCOLOR, 15724527 } }
------------------------------------

Include it in ON INIT, it works stretched at Dialog-Start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg5 CENTERED ;
ON INIT oBrw:SetBackGround( cFile, BCK_STRETCH ) ;
ON PAINT( SETUP_GRAD( hDC, oDlg5 ), ;
GradBrush( oDlg5, { { 0.2, 15180357, 16379082 },;
{ 0.2, 16379082, 15180357 } }, 1 ) )



The Quality gets completely lost ( color-depth ) with BCK_STRETCH :
( The left Picture-Area shows the difference )

The Quality stays the same, using BCK_TILED :

I defined :

REDEFINE XBROWSE oBrw1 ID 110 OF oDlg6 AUTOCOLS ALIAS "Desktop"

oBrw1:nColDividerStyle := LINESTYLE_BLACK
oBrw1:nRowDividerStyle := LINESTYLE_BLACK
oBrw1:nMarqueeStyle := MARQSTYLE_HIGHLROW
AEval( oBrw1:aCols, { |o| o:oDataFont := oFONT } )

oBrw1:SetBackGround( cFile1, BCK_TILED )

oBrw1:bClrSelFocus = { || { 16777215,128 } } // White / Red
oBrw1:bClrSel = { || { 16777215,8388608 } } // White / Blue
oBrw1:bClrStd := { || { 0, 65535 } } // Black / Yellow

Result ( didn't work, colors ignored ) :

Focus :


Lost Focus :


I changed the Position ( works ) :

oBrw1:bClrSelFocus = { || { 16777215,128 } } // White / Red
oBrw1:bClrSel = { || { 16777215,8388608 } } // White / Blue
oBrw1:bClrStd := { || { 0, 65535 } } // Black / Yellow

oBrw1:SetBackGround( cFile1, BCK_TILED )

Focus :


Lost Focus :
