Fernando,

i already downloaded ViaCoral.
Impationally i tried to build the first example with
'do welcome xhb'.

After building the eample the exe file complains that pcode version 9 is no more supported.

Can you give me instructions, please how to rebuild your lib for xHarbour and Borland C++?

Thanks and Regards,
Detlef

Tabs or Folders
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 01:41 AM

You've upgraded in 2.1 to add Office 2007 effects to Tabs but how about for folders ?

I have a nice layout with folders / dialogs that make editing quite easy. I haven't tried this with the Tab control ... but since that control does not appear to support Dialogs it would not seem to be the same.

Are you planning to provide an enhancement for the Folder class also ?

Thanks.

Folder
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 04:41 PM

I suppose I could, but I think of the Office Ribbon Bar as a smaller navigation system at the top of a window, and in this case, my folders have a lot of data controls and browses that take up the full screen of the dialog. Its not exactly the look you would see in a program using the Ribbon Bar.

That might be a consideration for a major design change in our program further down the road but right now I'm trying to keep a clean transition.

Of course, I do try to keep my mind open to new ideas.

OK ... of course my main interest is the Calendar control. I will be glad to buy your lib when I know that the Calendar control will be in reach in the upgrades ... can't afford to buy it then have to buy an upgrade a few months down the road when the calendar is included ...

Thanks.

Skins
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 12:32 AM

OK ... maybe I misunderstand this, or maybe I don't implement it correctly.

When I implement SET THEMES ... all of the buttons are skinned as if they were in focus. However, that is not the behavior of Office 2007. Antonio has the correct implementation in the menus and button bar.

I also looked at the sample and it appears to work like Office 2007, and not like mine.

Every one of my buttons is colored, and not like the theme.

Did I goof somewhere, or is this the intended behavior.

Thank you.
