Colored Tabs
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 08:37 PM

I have just about finished upgrading a Fivewin application from 16 to 32 bits, but there is one custom written object that was used in 16 bits that doesn't seem to have a 32 bit equivalent. It is a custom written folder class that was evidently created by Elliott Whitticar that allowed for "tabcolors", without changing the color of the whole folder. This custom folder class added a great deal to the visuals of the various screens, and quite frankly the 32 bit version is considerably less visual appealing with only gray tabs. Is there a replacement library out there that allows for only the folder tabs to have color, without making the entire folder that color?

Some Years ago, I used this Class as well.
Until now, there is no Solution for it.

The new Ribbonbar works with colored Folder-Tabs.
Maybe it is possible, to transfer the Logic to the TFolder-Class ( to Antonio ) ?

Michael,

Native Windows folders don't allow to change tabs colors.

But you can use bitmaps for each one, so the bitmap colors may be of help. Please review FWH\samples\TestFold.prg
