It pretty much does that anyway???
Prompted by this, I did just change eamenus.ew, ~line 535 from:

ext = getFileExtension(filenames[currfile])
	if find(ext,{"ex","exw","exwc","htm","html","bat"})
	or (equal(ext,"") and match(untitled,filenames[currfile])=1) then

to just:

if find(getFileExtension(filenames[currfile]),
		{"ex","exw","exwc","htm","html","bat"}) then

Since there is little point having the Run button enabled for "[untitled]" and
hence unsaved filetabs, but otherwise I don't get what you mean.

It seems wrong to enable the run button for exu files on a Windows machine.
I run html and bat files from Edita all the time, no problem there either.

WHOA! As you look at the 2380 lines of code that is ColouredButtons.ew, recall
that is for single static buttons - think how much more complicated all that line
drawing would be on a TCS_MULTILINE tab bar!

Anyway, I figured somthing else out:

I don't recall that exactly, but I had a quick ten-minute play and found this
worked reasonably well on arwen's demo_tabs.ew. In procedure drawTabItems, ~line
4870, replace:

if and_bits(state, ODS_SELECTED) then
	void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, COLOR_MENU+1})

with:

colour = ObjectBackColour[id]
    if colour=UNDEFINED then
	colour=COLOR_MENU+1
    end if
    void = c_func(xSetBkColor, {hDC, colour} )
    void = c_func(xSetBkMode, {hDC, TRANSPARENT} )
    void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, colour})
    -- if the tab is selected then (i) blank the background and (ii) 
reposition text higher
    if and_bits(state, ODS_SELECTED) then
--	void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, COLOR_MENU+1})

Also in arwen.ew, after procedure setTextColour, add:

global procedure setBackColour(integer id, integer colour)
    ObjectBackColour[id] = colour
    repaintWindow(id)
end procedure

global function getBackColour(integer id)
    return ObjectBackColour[id]
end function

Then finally, in demo_tabs itself, I added:

setBackColour(TABCONTROL2, c_func(xCreateSolidBrush, {Yellow}))

It might suffer some more tweaks, and definately benefit from use of more subtle
colours, but the basics are there.

Regards,
Pete

OK, point taken, exu added.

Edita could do with something a bit like that, though I'd favour setting up the
"interpret with" part once, then allow a list of extensions and an "active?"
checkbox. I assume you have to dive into Options/Custom Interpreter to switch
between perl and python, and/or you get a rack of errors when you forget?

BTW, I thought that was broken. I kept entering a command string and clicking on
OK/Apply and nothing happened or was saved. It seems to be expecting a return,
which is very un-windows-y. I now see it also works if you click on any other
command line input fields (before?) clicking OK/Apply.
I also suffered from:
C:\P2\wx\wxEuphoria\demo\wxIDE.exw:1727 in procedure get_files() 
subscript value 1 is out of bounds, reading from a sequence of length 0 
    files = {
	      "C:\\P2\\wx\\wxEuphoria\\demo\\bench_draw.exw",
	      {},
	      "C:\\P2\\wx\\wxEuphoria\\license\\gpl.txt"
	    }
which I avoided with an "and length(files[i])"... ??

Pete

Hello Pete,

In order to to what I would like to do, I want to copy a bitmap to the DEMO
   window. And you have most of copyDib remmed out. Any reason for this?
I believe the only way the change to backlground text of a Tab (in Arwin)is to
paste a bimap over it. Is this true?

No that works fine. If I change the color of the text with
setTextColour(TABCONTROL2,White). That works ok.

If I change the background with  setBackColour(TABCONTROL2,#FFFFFF). The
background always turns white and text black no matter what color I put in there.

The text background text would be the color center of the "O".
The background color would be the whole tab except the text.
I would like to change the text background and the Tab background to the same
color. But different colors for each Tab.

Screen shot.

I want the same as this but with differnt colored Tabs instead of Buttons.

I don't care why. I'll try Mike's version and see if it will work with
copyDib().

procedure drawTabItems(atom hDC, --   this I assume is hDc=getDC(TABCONTROL)
                        atom lParam,      --I don't know what to put here
                        atom lpRect,     -- I don't know
                        integer action,  -- I put ODA_DRAWINTIRE
                        integer state)  --  I put ODS_FOCUS 

 end procedure

I get a machine level exception using this routine.;


-- ACTIONS
--ODA_DRAWENTIRE    The entire control needs to be drawn.
--ODA_FOCUS The control has lost or gained the keyboard focus. The itemState
member should be checked to determine whether the control has the focus.
--ODA_SELECT    The selection status has changed. The itemState member should be
checked to determine the new selection state.

-- STATE AFTER ACTION
--ODS_CHECKED   The menu item is to be checked. This bit is used only in a menu.
--ODS_COMBOBOXEDIT  The drawing takes place in the selection field (edit
control) of an ownerdrawn combo box.
--ODS_DEFAULT   The item is the default item.
--ODS_DISABLED  The item is to be drawn as disabled.
--ODS_FOCUS The item has the keyboard focus.
--ODS_GRAYED    The item is to be grayed. This bit is used only in a menu.
--ODS_SELECTED  The menu item's status is selected.

Thanks again Pete. What I am having trouble with is getting the dimensions on
the tabs.

I think this will do if I can get it to work.

Do you mean insert this outside of the drawTabItems() procedure?

   If I insert colour = Yellow here it works, all tabs turn backgroung yellow.

But I can't figure out how to send the back ground color over from the demo.
I'm not sure how to change background of each tab individually 
I'm sure it has to do with ObjectChildren[id].

Hello Pete,

I'm about to give up on this. I've tried you code several ways but I can't
   seem to get the backcolor to work.

If I could get started on this I'm sure I could work out the details.

Thanks for trying,

Don Cole

  You where right again Pete (I should read what you said more slowly).
  I finally got the TabBackColor to work'.
See the screen shot.
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/pete2.bmp

If your Edita is anything like mine then you might have 20 files open at once.
It's easier to find the Tab you are looking for if the executable ones are
highlited.

These filenames don't mean anything.  `But the TabBackColour is chosen by the
file extention.

There was some talk about .eu and .html extentions to be added. Any color can be
used for anything I'm going to maker up an easy to read chart.
