DC_SetPos(), DC_SetSize(), DC_CurrentSize()

Hi, Roger. If a dialog is created with DC-commands, it may be needed to resize/repos objects without using the RESIZE-stuff from eXpress++. Sample: I have a huge dialog with several objects on it and a big browse. If the user selects a special option, some nested browses are displayed (hidden when t...

Re: Tabpage Color under 254

Hi, Michael.

If you post code to the forum, use the "CODE" button or code-tags to embed it. This is much easier to read:

Code: Select all

FUNCTION Michael(lEverythingWorks)
  IF lEverythingWorks
    FindAReasonToMoanAnyWay()
  ENDIF
RETURN TheRiverNile

Re: Tabpage Color under 254

Hi, Michael.

The color with tabpages does not work with SL1 anymore if tabpages use visual styles (default). If Roger finds a color clause inside DCTABPAGE, he switches visual style off for this tabpage. This is what you should do - or add a "dummy" color clause to DCTABPAGE.

Re: Why not? An essay

Hi, Roger. This is something I think about rather often. I'd love to discuss this topic with you and others, but my english is not good enough to do so. The bible - and most of the popular monotheistic religions - separates soul and body. This is somehow a basic concept, and it is needed to give peo...

Popup buttons: transparency

Hi, Roger.

Normal DCPUSHBUTTONS reflect the DC_BitmapTransparency()-settings if a bitmap is the button caption. Buttons added this way:

Code: Select all

@ 1,1 DCSAY 'This is not my day:' GET c ... POPUP {||c:=GetMyDay(c)} POPCAPTION BITMAP_WTF
do not reflect the settings.

Re: DCBROWSE and UseVisualStyle

@Wolfgang: What version are you using?

Roger introduced the USEVISUALSTYLE clause for DCBROWSE several months ago. Use that instead of EVAL-whatever. And DC_XbpBrowseConfig works definitely with build 253.

DCBROWSE and Scrollbars

If a browse contains a large or maybe filtered database, using the scrollbars to directly move to the end or beginning has some side effects. Sometimes, it's really hard to walk to the end/beginning. If NOSOFTTRACK is on, this leads to kind of strange behaviour. I know, there are hotkeys for the bro...
