[MarcoBoschi]

In Xp computer I set Windows Classic Style.
I obtain the same problem of Windows 7 Pc

If I don't redefine SAY objects

// REDEFINE SAY oSay2 ID 402 OF oFld:aDialogs[ 1 ]

they appears in this way




Is there a solution to resolve this problem?
I obviously want to avoid the redefine of every say object....

Many thanks
Marco

[Armando]

Marco:

Try in your resources file to use -1 value for the groupbox instead 116 value.

Regards

[MarcoBoschi]

I do not understand but.....
thank you very much ....

SOLVED!

[James Bott]

Marco,

Do you mean you don't understand why -1 works, or that you found a different solution.

The value -1, signifies static text--any positive number signifies text that can be redefined. They are handled differently by Windows.

Regards,
James

[MarcoBoschi]

James,
very helpful person as usual.

many thanks

The value -1, signifies static text--any positive number signifies text that can be redefined. They are handled differently by Windows.

I didn't know that Windows managed id -1 labels and id positive number labels differently. Where can I read some MS documentation about this behavior?

Enrico,

I don't know that much about them. Here are a few references although they don't provide much info either.

Static Text:

Static Controls:

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can you point me at the exact place where they say that Windows treats a -1 id controls different from a positive id one, please?

EMG

[byte-one]

Says with ID -1 (static) are not transparent in the dialogs. Only when the dialog are set to transparent, the static says are transparent.
On redefined says with ID > 0 all is ok!

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can I see a reduced sample of this behavior? Is this behavior seen on W7 only?

EMG

[byte-one]

Please try next code to see the effect:
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg OF oWin TITLE "Test" COLOR CLR_BLACK,CLR_YELLOW RESOURCE "ffff"
and make in the RC a static say! It seems, only when a color of the dialog is defined, the static say is not transparent.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

This is a sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg;
           RESOURCE "LABELS";
           COLOR CLR_BLACK, CLR_GREEN

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL

Code: Select all  Expand view

LABELS DIALOG 96, 44, 250, 230
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL , SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
{
 LTEXT "A label test", 101, 10, 10, 230, 25
}

The label is not transparent.

EMG

[byte-one]

Please test with ID -1 !!

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Same result. Did you test my sample?
