Thanks again for your kind help

Dear Ramesh,

I have not received it, probably due to the same reasons as Jose explains.

could you send me your solution, too.

Thanks

Ramesh,

I just found the download link

Thanks

Ramesh,

Ok, so basically what you do is to create a bitmap from the painted gradient and then use the bitmap for a brush.

We could implement a method to automatically do it, without having to use any external tool

Hi Ramesh,

Thank you for sending gradtest.zip.

If I am not wrong, The function in prg uses the external EXE files. BMPtoJPG and NCONVERT.

Can you also provide these files if it is possible?. I try find them from net. but i think different versions can not works like your function wanted.

Hello All!
I found a solution for this problem. Not very elegant, but usable. This could functioning on all OS.
Antonio, this should inserted in dialog-class! The real size of a redefined dialog is only to see, when activated.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg........
.
dlg_brush(oDlg,CLR_BLUE,CLR_HBLUE)
.
ACTIVATE oDlg

//--------------------------------------------------------

function dlg_brush(oDlg,nColorTop,nColorBottom)

   local oDlg_temp,oBr,nWidth,nHeight,cRes := "",cFile:= "back.bmp"
   DEFAULT nColorTop := nRGB( 219, 230, 244 ) , nColorBottom := nRGB( 207, 221, 239 )

if !empty(oDlg)

   cRes := oDlg:cResName

        if !empty(cRes)
      cFile:= cRes+"_back.bmp"
      DEFINE DIALOG oDlg_temp RESOURCE cRes
      ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg_temp ;
      ON INIT ;
      (oDlg_temp:hide(),;
      nHeight := oDlg_temp:nHeight(),;
      nWidth := 1,; //oDlg_temp:nWidth(),;
      oDlg_temp:end())

        else

      nHeight := oDlg:nBottom
                                nWidth := 1

        endif

      DEFINE DIALOG oDlg_temp FROM 0,0 TO nHeight,nWidth PIXEL STYLE nOr(WS_POPUP,4)
      ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg_temp ;
      ON PAINT ;
      (GradientFill( oDlg_temp:hDC, 0, 0, oDlg_temp:nHeight(), oDlg_temp:nWidth(), {{ 1,nColorTop,nColorBottom}} ),;
      oDlg_temp:SaveToBmp(cFile),;
      oDlg_temp:end())

      if file( cFile )
         DEFINE BRUSH oBr FILE cFile
         oDlg:oBrush := oBr
         ferase( cFile )
      endif

endif

return NIL

Hi all,

some time ago I enhanced the TBrush class, you can use like the original one. It creates brushes with a gradient on the fly.

I hope, it´s helpful.

Usage:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

...
oBrushX := TBrushX():New ( ... )

DEFINE DIALOG ... BRUSH oBrushX

and the class:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
