Creating Userdefined Metro-styles ( Download )
Posted: Wed May 16, 2012 10:48 PM

Hello,

I finished the Part of the Metro-toolkit, to make it possible,
to create a complete Metro-panel from a DBF-file-record.
A user can change the given Design to his own Taste.
There will be a second ( Mini ) -version ( delivered to the Customer ),
because we don't want that the User can add / delete a Button
only changing the given Design.
The original design is defined inside the 1. record ( can be protected )
Record 2- 9 are User defined ( copys of record 1 ).
The wanted Template to be loaded, is defined inside a Ini-file.
A missing Template-dbf will use the definded Metro-original inside Your Application ( there is no risk ).
There are 10 possible Designs with 30 Buttons each( far enaugh )
Edit-modes : the complete Panel or a selected single Button.

The user can change :

1. Fonts ( Title, Caption and Bodytext )
2. Colors
3. Images ( Buttons )
4. Text ( Title, caption and body )
5. Background ( Buttons )
6. Large / small
7. Button-size
8. Background of the Mainwindow

Because there is a lot to explain, I will add the needed Informations this Weekend.

The User-selection

Your Original

Repainted from User

I finished the Customer-part.
Now You can switch between Your defined Style inside Your Appl. and
User defined Styles loaded from a DBF.
Everything is included, to add this Solution inside Your own Application.
Images, recompile ....
I would like to make the DBF-loading part smaller, any changes / optimizations are welcome.
To create / change the User-Templates, You will need the coming Main-tool-update.

The next Step to complete it, will show a extended Version : working with the Editor and shows the needed changes of a included copy of < TMetropnl.prg >
You need TMetropnl.prg !!!. Only the Changes will be shown.

Download ( 8.2 MB )

Styles changed from User :

The coming extended Editor-version ( will be the version, that can be delivered to Your Customer ) :
Complete Source included ( without TMetropnl.prg )

Hello Uwe,
I am looking at your UserMtr.
Thank you for your designer.
I noticed that the buttons in WINDOWS 8 become a little smaller on “ON CLICK”.
Do you think this is possible in Fivewin too.
Best regards,
Otto

Hello Otto,

I'm planning some more work on this tool.
If it is possible to get a animated ( resized ) - effect on
button-click, I still have to find out.
Best Regards

Hello Uwe,
do you think this behavior must be changed in btnbmp.prg.
Best regards,

Otto

This feature was introduced in fwh btnbmp.prg and later taken out.
Since we use flatbtns for windows 8 look, we may introduce this for flatbtns?

Dear Mr. Rao,
can you tell me when this changed.
The latest code I have from petropnl.prg shows that it inherits from TBtnBmp.
In original WINDOWS 8 if you click on a tile ( button ) the tile becomes a little bit smaller.

Best regards,
Otto

CLASS TMetroBtn FROM TBtnBmp
