A Generic ownerdraw system for DCBROWSE

[rdonnay]

This is a GENERIC owner drawing system for DC_XbpBrowse. Each browse cell can draw text, icons or bitmaps anywhere within the cell by declaring each within a multi-dimensional array

[1] = <ocData>
[2] = <nCol>
[3] = <nRow>
[4] = <nWidth>
[5] = <nHeight>
[6] = <font>
[7] = <selectedFont>
[8] = <fgColor>
[9] = <bgColor>
[10] = <nAlign>

OWNERGEN.PRG can be used with any browse configuration.

CALENDAR.PRG uses the XbpOwnerDrawBrowseGeneric class to paint a calendar that is loaded into an array from CALENDAR.DBF.

GENERIC.PRG uses the XbpOwnerDrawBrowseGeneric class to paint a database browse of customers.

This is the first draft. It will evolve. Your suggestions are welcome.

Thank you, Roger!

This greatly expands the scope of the browser. This is very cool, I would say that is amazing. It can also be used to display the output of complex shapes.

Hi Roger,

I'm getting a browse as this. Maybe I'm missing something.

Click on "Use Owner Drawing" check box.

Please don't use the two or three icon files in the sample in applications which are to be delivered. Those are some I bought for my company, and I just placed them in the ownerdrawing sample for the DevCon attendees.

Ho Roger,

I have done that, but it doesn't make any difference. Also the calendar sample shows the array.

You need Xbase++ 1.9 SL1 for this, Chris.

Oops. I forgot about that. Sorry, I'll write a new sample.

You need Xbase++ 1.9 SL1 for this, Chris.

It also works with Xbase++ 2.0, but NOT 1.9 build 331.
