Selgor here
I am wondering just where in Win32Lib documentation
that I might find such things as
getSysColor(COLOR_DESKTOP)
I am aware of the setBackColor
"such things" being system commands, functions ??
In anticipation.
Cheers Selgor..
- Open index.htm in the DOCS folder.
- Click on the "Index" link
- Scroll down to "getSysColor"
- Click the "getSysColor" link
And I found ...
[func]
getSysColor ( window, color )
Return atom with value of a system color.
Returns: ATOM:Returns the RGB value of the specified system color.
Category: System Attributes
The system colors in Windows are listed here.
COLOR_SCROLLBAR

COLOR_DESKTOP

COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION

COLOR_3DLIGHT
COLOR_INFOTEXT
COLOR_INFOBK
COLOR_HOTLIGHT

Example:
-- Set the window to the button color
setWindowBackColor( MyWindow, getSysColor( COLOR_BTNFACE ) )
I didn't think that was two hard to find.
Well that was only 4 simple steps, so I would agree, that wasn't really very hard FOUR anyone to find!
