Group Box Frame Color ( again ) .. Nags?

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

I can not find the correct example in the forum .. I believe Nags came up with this code to add color to the group frame ..

Code: Select all  Expand view

     oGrps:bPainted := < |hDC|
     RoundBox( hDC, 20,30,445,300,10,10,CLR_BLACK, 1 )
     Return nil
     >

   oGrps:bPainted := < |hDC|
      RoundBox( hDC, 20,340,445,500,10,10,CLR_HRED, 1 )
      Return nil
      >
 

And this code works well if you only want to color the RoundBox for the first instance .. but I have 2 group boxes on the same form and it is the last box that is drawn .. I do kinda see that the roundBox is directly tied to the hDc instance ..

Is there a way to modify this code to handle two or more group boxes on the same form ?

Thanks

Unfortunately this code does not work probably due to my use of the XP Manifest

Code: Select all  Expand view

   REDEFINE GROUP oGrp2 ID 209 of oGrps ;
            COLOR RGB(32,32,32), CLR_HRED ;
            PIXEL FONT oFontB

 

Appreciate your help .. unfortunately this was not the answer .. any other solutions ?

Yes. With manifest it does not work.
You need to draw boxes manually.
Please recheck your code.

In my original post .. the first RoundBox() instance works .. but try to use RoundBox() a second time .. takes president over the first instance .. and the first instance is no longer drawn.

I know it has something to do with the Dialog handle .. any advice or expertise is welcome.

Thanks

Please try

Code: Select all  Expand view

   oDlg:bPainted := < |hDC|
      RoundBox( hDC, 20,30,445,300,10,10,CLR_BLACK, 1 )
      RoundBox( hDC, 20,340,445,500,10,10,CLR_HRED, 1 )
      Return nil
