Defined Group-Colors for Ribbonbar FW 9.07

[ukoenig]

Hello,

today I started testing the Ribbonbar-Class to work out, how to make any Background- and Color-Changes.
Scrolling throught the sample, I noticed a wrong Alphabutton-Display.



I started to change the Basic-Settings, to find out, what is possible.
I wanted to change the Basic-Gradient-Color < oRBar:aGrad >
but there was no change. Maybe it is not possible ?
Folder-Tabs and Outline works. Are there any Values from the List, I cannot change ?



oRBar:nClrBoxOut := 128 // Ribbonbar-Outline-Color
oRBar:nClrBoxIn := 0 // Ribbonbar-Inline-Color
oRBar:nClrBoxSelOut := 32768
oRBar:nClrBoxSelIn := 32768
oRBar:aGradFld := { { 1, 16777215, 8293112 } } // Folder-Gradient
oRBar:aGrad := { {0.12, 32768, 32768 }, { 0.70, 10674091, 32768 }, { 0.18, 32768, 16777215 }}
oRBar:aGradHigh := { { 1, 2279491, 10674091 } }
oRBar:aGradOver := { { 1, 13873022, 10674091 } }

Best Regards

Uwe,

See how it looks here on Windows 7:

Uwe,

Please try this:

Code: Select all | Expand

function ChangeColors( oRb, aGrad )

   local hBmp := GradientBmp( oRb, oRb:nRight - oRb:nRightMargin - 3,;
                              oRb:nBottom - oRb:nTopMargin + 1, aGrad )
   local n                            

   DeleteObject( oRb:hBrushEx ) 
   oRb:hBrushEx = CreatePatternBrush( hBmp )
   DeleteObject( hBmp )
   
   oRb:Refresh()
   
   for n = 1 to Len( oRb:aDialogs )
      oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:hBack = oRb:hBrushEx
      oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:Refresh()
   next   
   
return nil

Uwe,

This one is a better one:

Code: Select all | Expand

function ChangeColors( oRb, aGrad )

  local hBmp := GradientBmp( oRb, oRb:nRight - oRb:nRightMargin - 3,;
                             oRb:nBottom - oRb:nTopMargin + 1, aGrad )
  local n, j, z, oControl

  oRb:aGrad := aGrad

  DeleteObject( oRb:hBrushEx ) 
  oRb:hBrushEx = CreatePatternBrush( hBmp )
  DeleteObject( hBmp )
  
  oRb:Refresh()
  
  for n = 1 to Len( oRb:aDialogs )
     DeleteObject( oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:hBack )
     oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:hBack = oRb:hBrushEx
     if ! Empty( oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:aControls )
        for j = 1 to len( oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:aControls )
           oControl = oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:aControls[ j ]
           if oControl:ClassName() == "TRBGROUP"
              DeleteObject( oControl:hBrushUnsel )
              oControl:hBrushUnsel = oRb:hBrushEx
              DeleteObject( oControl:hBrushSel )
              oControl:hBrushSel = nil
           endif
        next
     endif

     oRb:aDialogs[ n ]:Refresh()
  next   
  
return nil

Antonio,
Thank You very much.
I didn't see, You changed the Function in the meantime.

It works fine now.

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ;
ON PAINT ChangeColors( oRBar, aGrad )

Uwe,

Very good!

We look forward to use a great tool from you for RibbonBar settings. Surely many of us will use it and appreciate it

[ukoenig]

Antonio,

A little change to Your Function using different Group-Colors and Fonts.
Maybe we still need a defined Font-Color for Background-Contrast.

Uwe,

Looks great!

I notice that with the last two groups the right and bottom of the background is not transparent. Is this a bug? I wonder why it only affects two groups?

James

[ukoenig]

James,

it is fixed already.
I didn't define all Group-Colors inside the FOR NEXT

Best Regards
Uwe

Antonio,

I finished testing the Ribbonbar.
Now I can change any Value I like and it works perfect.

2 Values I couldn't find out, how to change :
1. Tab-Text-Color ( seems to be a System-Color )
2. Bottom-Space to adjust to the Font-Size



Can I change these Values ?

Best Regards
Uwe

[Antonio Linares]

Uwe,

Great work, looks very nice!

We are going to check how to easily change those values, thanks

Are you already working on a new designer ?

[Daniel Garcia-Gil]

Hello Uwe...

> 1. Tab-Text-Color ( seems to be a System-Color )
Actually is not possible change Tab-Text-Color, but is not complicated apply this change...

>2. Bottom-Space to adjust to the Font-Size
yo can try use cText + CRLF + " ", bottom Space adjust automatic when detect more lines, what is the best way? new data with Bottom-Space height ?? or Bottom-Space auto-adjust with Font Height???

Best regards

[ukoenig]

Daniel,

Thank You very much.
The CRLF solved the Problem. For my Test I used a very big Font.



With the Tab-Text-Color I don't know where the Color comes from.
If the Color is always dark, maybe the User has to choose a light Tab_gradient
if the Color cannot be defined ?
But it makes it impossible, to use a dark Background.



Best Regards
Uwe

Hello Daniel,

is it possible to disable the Folder-Tabs as a Option ( just a Bar with Groups ) ?

Best Regards
Uwe
