hi,

does work with HMG and Xbase++ like this (same Resource)

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

STATIC PROCEDURE BuildMainMenu()
LOCAL oMenu
   MENU oMenu
      MENUITEM "&Action"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "Left Side" + CHR( 9 ) + "ALT+F1" RESOURCE "MYLEFTSIDE" ;
                               ACCELERATOR ACC_ALT, 65648 ;
                               ACTION OpenComboSide( "left" )
         MENUITEM "Right Side" + CHR( 9 ) + "ALT+F2" RESOURCE "MYRIGHTSIDE" ;
                                ACCELERATOR ACC_ALT, 65649 ;
                                ACTION OpenComboSide( "right" )
         MENUITEM "E&xit" + CHR( 9 ) + "ALT+F4" RESOURCE "MYEXIT" ACTION oMain:End()
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU
RETURN

p.s. which COLOR have MENU Background

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have for COLOR_MENU (Window 10)

so it is {240,240,240}

---

does Fivewin have a Ownerdraw MENU

[cnavarro]

DearJimmy
If you not use clause COLOR or STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015, Fivewin use Windows menus

[Jimmy]

hi,

to "modify" IMAGE to have COLOR_MENU is "just" a Workaround
i can get COLOR of Windows Theme COLOR_MENU "on-fly" ... what about STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015 how to "get" Color ,

as you see i have try different IMAGE, also from Fivewin \BITMAP, but none of them work with "transparency"
so i guess transparency for MENU IMAGE is not include under Fivewin or what did i wrong

[cnavarro]

Please look for clauses include\menu.ch, and
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=42318&start=15#p254324

[nageswaragunupudi]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oMenu

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MENU MyMenu()


   oWnd:nWidth    := 400
   oWnd:nHeight   := 300

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED

return nil

function MyMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu 2007
      MENUITEM "File"      FILE "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\index.bmp"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "Open"   FILE "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\open.bmp"
         MENUITEM "Save"   FILE "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\save2.bmp"
         MENUITEM "Close"  FILE "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\close2.bmp"
         SEPARATOR
         MENUITEM "Exit"   FILE "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\exit2.bmp"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu

FWH uses the pixel color at zero, zero to apply transparency and that may be the reason

[nageswaragunupudi]

Now, from Resources.

Use this rc file:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

INDEX  BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\index.bmp"
OPEN2  BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\open.bmp"
SAVE   BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\save2.bmp"
CLOSE3 BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\close2.bmp"
EXIT   BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\exit2.bmp"
 

Modify the MyMenu() function in the above sample program like this:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function MyMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu 2007
      MENUITEM "File"      RESOURCE "INDEX"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "Open"   RESOURCE "OPEN2"
         MENUITEM "Save"   RESOURCE "SAVE"
         MENUITEM "Close"  RESOURCE "CLOSE3"
         SEPARATOR
         MENUITEM "Exit"   RESOURCE "EXIT"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu

Result is exactly same as the above image in my last post.

Sometime back, Mr. Jimmy sent me some "no_dpi" bitmaps.
I tried with those bmp files in RC file:

This is the rc file:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

ABOUTJ    10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\about.bmp"
CLEAN32   10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\clean32.bmp"
CLEANUP   10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\cleanup.bmp"
CLIPBOARD 10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\clipboard.bmp"
CLOUD     10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\cloud.bmp"
COLORS    10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\colors.bmp"
 

Revised MyMenu() function:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

function MyMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu 2007
      MENUITEM "File"      RESOURCE "INDEX"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "About"   RESOURCE "ABOUTJ"
         MENUITEM "Clean32" RESOURCE "CLEAN32"
         MENUITEM "CleanUp" RESOURCE "CLEANUP"
         MENUITEM "ClpBrd"  RESOURCE "CLIPBOARD"
         MENUITEM "Cloud"   RESOURCE "CLOUD"
         MENUITEM "Colors"  RESOURCE "COLORS"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu

I find no problem with transparency



Can you please send the bitmaps, with which you have problem of transparency?

[Jimmy]

hi,

thx for your work and Sample

as i can "see" you use a "Trick" to change Style to 2007, than it look much better

but how should a Newbie "know" this while Help File does not say it
without "Trick" it look like i say



so my Question : how to use this Technique when want "Dark-Mode"

p.s. which Style can be used with MENU
Help File does not say it

[nageswaragunupudi]

Thanks.
I used style 2007, because I always used that style, because I like it. In most samples I post here also you can find that style.
It is our duty to provide full support honestly and not to play tricks. I do my job with utmost sincerity.

After reading your post, I did find some issues with classical menu with no-style. I will fully study and come out with all the issues. FWH will fix wherever necessary.

hi,

i have look at those Office Style : NICE

Question : is there a Way to "detect" OS Style and use it as Menu Style
those Office Style are identical with OS Style when they have released

Offtopic : does those Office Style also work on other Fivewin Control
