1. Really, really, really, nit-picky....
Okay, no cause for alarm here...just found something in Win32lib that I
would wager most of us have never tried (at least I never did). Has
anyone ever tried to change the appearance of Windows desktop and use a
Win32lib program? What I mean is right-clicking in the desktop,
selecting the "Properties" item from the pop-up, selecting the
"Appearance" tab and changing the "Desktop" item scheme to something
other than Windows Standard and then running a program that uses
Win32lib? Go ahead...try it...I'll wait...did you notice that your
Win32lib program did not change the background color of labels, windows,
checkboxes, etc.? Not really a big thing but it would be noticed by
users wanting to change their desktop colors.
To that end I humbly submit the following code:
-- On a paint call check if the current button face color has changed
-- and if so set all label controls and windows to the correct
background color
-- as well as the main window background color.
atom cur_color
cur_color = 0
procedure MainWin_onPaint(atom x1, atom y1, atom x2, atom y2)
object color
color = getSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE)
if color != cur_color then
cur_color = color
-- Set all window controls background
setWindowBackColor( MainWin, color )
-- Set label background
setWindowBackColor( CurProjLT, color )
-- Set group control backgrounds
setWindowBackColor( PrintTypeGroupGC, color )
-- Set radio button backgrounds
setWindowBackColor( PrintDetailRB, color )
end if
end procedure
onPaint[MainWin] = routine_id("MainWin_onPaint")
2. Re: Really, really, really, nit-picky....
This has been on the to-do list for ages. In fact I did get around to fixing
it at one stage but due to poor code management, I deleted that version by
accident. I recall that it took quite a bit of mucking about due to all the
hard-coded uses of control colors etc...
I guess you guys have just raised it up the list a notch or two.
