default.rc

Code: Select all  Expand view

#ifndef __64__
  1 24 "WinXP\WindowsXP.Manifest"
#else
  1 24 "WinXP\WindowsXP.Manifest64"
#endif

the test.prg

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"


Function test()
Local oDlg,oSay,oFolder,oFont

local ctext:=""

DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "MS Sans Serif" SIZE 0,-8
       oBold := oFont:Bold()
 DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 1130,650 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL ;
                        FONT oFont

       @  1, 0 FOLDEREX oFolder OF oDlg SIZE oDlg:nWidth-585,oDlg:nHeight-390 PIXEL  ;
        PROMPT "Prenotazioni"

       @ 2,  200 SAY oSay PROMPT cText SIZE 260,14 PIXEL OF oFolder:aDialogs[1] CENTER VCENTER FONT oBold
       oSay:SetColor( CLR_GREEN, CLR_GREEN )


                oDlg:bResized  := <||
                oRect                := oDlg:GetCliRect()
                oFolder:nWidth       := oRect:nRight-2
                     oFolder:nHeight      := oRect:nBottom-160
                  return nil
                            >



                            ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED  ;
                            ON INIT (  Eval(oDlg:bResized)   )
return nil

Any solution ?

What is strange?
You set both text color and background color to GREEN.
How can you see any text?

I explain to you.
I add the text to make you understand where the error lies

local ctext:="gggggggggggggggggggggg"

if I compile the test.prg with the resource I don't see the string (say control) with the green background

If I compile the test WITHOUT the resource I see the string with the green background

But I need to compile with resources because I must insert bitmaps, How I can resolve ?

I try now also on Windows Seven ...same error

           @ 2,  200 SAY oSay PROMPT cText SIZE 260,14 PIXEL OF oFolder:aDialogs[1] CENTER VCENTER FONT oBold
           oSay:SetColor( CLR_WHITE, CLR_GREEN )

I'm confused. You say you have a problem with a dialog defined in a resource and yet I see no code for a resource.

Can you please clarify ? All of my "forms" are created in a .rc file and I use SAY on folders with no problem. I'd be happy to help, but I only see the code build, not the .rc code.

You understood well .
I have a dialog.
In this dialog I have a FolderEx (you can also use the normal folder)
in the folder in the first tab that is oFolder: adialogs [1] I inserted a simple say control of the type

Code: Select all  Expand view

@ 2,  200 SAY oSay PROMPT cText SIZE 260,14 PIXEL OF oFolder:aDialogs[1] CENTER VCENTER FONT oBold

at the time of compilation you have to add the theme win xp that you find in the fivewin sample folder

xplook.rc

Code: Select all  Expand view

#ifndef __64__
  1 24 "WinXP\WindowsXP.Manifest"
#else
  1 24 "WinXP\WindowsXP.Manifest64"
#endif

if you not use the xp look you 'll see the say control

When you said you were using a resource file, I understood that to mean you were building the dialog and folders in the .rc file.

Apparently you are only using the .rc to specify the manifest.

I simply include a manifest file in my application folder but don't really call it anywhere ( and it's not listed in my .rc file either ). I named it the same as my application, so if the application is Silvio.exe then I have Silvio.manifest in the same folder.

Since I use an .rc to define ALL of my screens, I'm sorry I can't assist here.

ok but have you tried to compile my test with a resources?

anyway I tried to make an exe and then I entered the manifest
original.exe
original.manifest
as you can see here



does not work
controls such as datepicks do not have a theme

[TimStone]

Silvio,

No, I don't have the time to do that. Although I'm "semi-retired", I have a very challenging time just completing all the work that I must do in a day. In the time that I do have available, I'm working on adding SQL capabilities to my primary program, and that is a big learning curve. I want to do that while leaving my current .dbf and .adt options in place, so I assume I will be updating my data objects to accomplish that task.

Of course that will be in between attending my grandkids soccer ( fotbal ) games. They are very competitive and great fun.

Mr. Silivio

You are right.
On themed applications, Says on folder / folderex dialogs are always displayed with White back-color and we are not able to change it.
Looks like it is Windows behavior. Anyway we will look into this in greater detail.

For now you may use some foreground color on CLR_WHITE. eg: CLR_BLACK,CLR_WHITE etc.

Nages,
For now I have solved it by inserting a panel control in the folder and in this the say control
But I hope you solve the problem
