How to get 'normal' color in Folder?
Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 08:50 AM

Hi,

when using folders and the Windows XP Manifest, the color of the background is different than without using folders, it's more lighter.

Can i change this back with the COLOR parameter and if so, what color should i use?

Thanks,

John.

Hi Antonio,

here's the printscreen, i've pasted both dialogs on top of each other to see the difference.



If I'm not using the manifest everything looks ok, FWH25/Harbour also looks ok.

Regards,

John.

John,

Thats the normal and "desired" look. Folders look with gradient, meanwhile dialogboxes no.

Anyhow if you want to remove the folders color, simply change this line from Class TFolder:

Method Default() CLASS TFolder
      ...
      #ifndef __CLIPPER__
         if IsAppThemed()
            // oDlg:bEraseBkGnd = { | hDC | DrawPBack( oDlg:hWnd, hDC ), 1 }
         endif
      #endif
      ...
regards, saludos

thanks Antonio,

only changing this in source\classes\folder.prg and recompiling my program won't do the trick, so i guess i have to do a little bit more?

Regards,

John.

Try adding folder.prg to your compile and link script.

Hi Enrico,

isn't there a way to do this in my code?

like changing one of the parameters?
oDlg:bEraseBkGnd = { | hDC | DrawPBack( oDlg:hWnd, hDC ), 1 }

Try this:

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg, oFld

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg;
           RESOURCE "FOLDERTEST"

    REDEFINE FOLDER oFld;
             ID 101 OF oDlg;
             PROMPTS "Test1", "Test2";
             DIALOGS "TEST1", "TEST2"

    oDlg:bStart = { || MySet( oFld ) }

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL


STATIC FUNCTION MYSET( oFld )

    LOCAL i

    FOR i = 1 TO LEN( oFld:aDialogs )
        oFld:aDialogs[ i ]:bEraseBkGnd = NIL
    NEXT

    RETURN NIL
