Folder Itemsize

[Dietmar Jahnel]

Antonio,

I want to increase the height of the tab control items using SetItemsize when themes are active.
It is working fine as long as the transparent clause is not used.
Please see the difference in the modified testfld4.prg below once compiled with TRANSPARENT once without (with themes in RC-file)
I'm using FWH 9.07.

How can this be fixed?
Thanks for help,
Dietmar

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "fivewin.ch"

    LOCAL oDlg, oFolder

          cNombre:=space(30)    ,;

To make things clearer, this it the result:



Without transparent clause, the folders are painted ok.

How can this be fixed?

Dietmar,

We are reviewing Windows include\commctrl.h where all styles and messages for folders are defined.

Maybe this message could help: TCM_SETITEMSIZE
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760635(VS.85).aspx

also, this one could help: TCM_ADJUSTRECT
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760639(VS.85).aspx

Finally, this may be also an option: TCM_SETPADDING
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760639(VS.85).aspx

To call those functions you can easily build a C wrapper in the same way as we do them in:
fwh\source\winapi\tabctrl.c

If you need some more help, please let me know it

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

You could easily test it doing:

Code: Select all  Expand view

SendMessage( oFolder:hWnd, TCM_SETPADDING, 0, nMakeLong( 20, 20 ) )
 

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

The method that you have to use is already implemented in FWH Class TFolder

Code: Select all  Expand view

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTER ;
       ON INIT oFolder:SetItemSize( 200, 30 )

Antonio,
I know and use this method. (see last lines of the code above)
The problem is that the folders are only painted correctly, if the dialg is NOT transparent
Same dialog WITH transparent on (which we need in this case) ---> painting result as above
Hope I expressed my problem now clearly...

Dietmar,

Ok, Now I see what you mean, thanks

Using 20, instead of 25, seems to improve it

Code: Select all  Expand view

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTER;
       On INIT IIF(IsThemeActive(), oFolder:SetItemsize( ,20 ), ) //---> changed
 

[Dietmar Jahnel]

with 19 the painting is ok, but this is standard size.
In our case 25 would look a lot better. We use this in another folder, where transparent is not needed.
The TRANSPARENT-clause seems to erase the line under the folders??
Can this be fixed?
Dietmar

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

When clause TRANSPARENT is used on the folder, it sets all the contained dialogs to call DrawPBack() to fill each dialog surface. This function may be erasing that line.

To check it, please add this dummy function to your main PRG:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function DrawPBack()
return nil
 

This way no fill painting will be done and we can check if the line is visible. Thanks for your feedback

[Dietmar Jahnel]

Code: Select all  Expand view

function DrawPBack()
return nil
 

This way no fill painting will be done and we can check if the line is visible. Thanks for your feedback

Sorry, same result, the line is not visible,
Dietmar

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

Then it means that DrawPBack() is not erasing that line.

Lets modify oFolder:nFdHeight which holds the height of the tabs to position the contained dialogs:

Code: Select all  Expand view

   REDEFINE FOLDER oFolder             ;
        ID 102                           ;
        OF oDlg                          ;
        PROMPTS "Pagina &1","Pagina &2"  ;
        DIALOGS "DlgPage1", "DlgPage2"

   oFolder:nFdHeight += 5

   ...
 

try with different values there, thanks

[Dietmar Jahnel]

   oFolder:nFdHeight += 5

try with different values there, thanks

This one does not change the itemsize but the last 5 pixel at the bottom of the folder are not painted..

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

oFolder:nFdHeight keeps the height value of the tabs but does not modify it. That value is used to place the top margin of the contained dialogs.

Is the line still erased ? Please post a screenshot, thanks

[Dietmar Jahnel]

Is the line still erased ? Please post a screenshot, thanks

here it is, at the buttom is is not grey but white

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

Please try to increase oFolder:nFdHeight with larger values, i.e.:

oFolder:nFdHeight += 15

Do it after the REDEFINE FOLDER ... command. You should notice that the contained dialogs top margins change.
