dccheckbox appearance 2.0

[Auge_Ohr]

I enhanced the sample below per your requests ...

THX, that make it more clear that it is (again) a visual Style Problem with Xbase++ v2.x

So it appears that something is not working properly for Xbase 2.0/Express with themes enabled and the :SetcolorBG() method versus the use of presentation parameters. This has been forwarded with a prior example to Andreas at Alaska and I will also provide Alaska Support with this example.

I do not know if the interaction of Express has anything to do with this as the same Express code is used for both versions.

Express++ is build on Xbase++ ... if Alaska have change something with visual Style and do not tell us ...

when build a native Checkbox ( Button ) using API and visual Style, without Ownerdraw, you can't set Background Color after Create

Code: Select all

@Gdi32:SetBkColor( hDC, AutomationTranslateColor(XBP* Color,.F.))

it is like XbpBrowse() using visual Style and o:Colorblock

with XbpBrowse() you can use Ownerdraw / o:customDrawCell Callback Slot but for Windows API you need a "Trick" when hook WM_CTLCOLORBTN / WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC Windows Message.

do you remember "black" Checkbox in Xbase++ Groupbox ?
it was the mistake of XBPSYSCLR_TRANSPARENT = -255 but Windows CLR_NONE are 0 using for

Code: Select all

::BrushSysColor :=  @Gdi32:CreateSolidBrush(CLR_NONE)

to use as Return Value of WM_CTLCOLORBTN / WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC

when using a Groupbox, which is a Static under Xbase++ , it also use { XBP_PP_BGCLR, -255 } when create by Formdesign ( Parent of Group ). thats why i wanted to see how it looks like without Groupbox.
btw. if you use Xbase++ v2.x Formdesign ... what will be the Result (Presentation-Parameter) ?

... and last Idea (now) : use oDialog:DrawingArea:SetColorBG() to see if it goes through the Child XbPart.

I revised the same to use some pure Xbase++ objects. You can see that between 1.9 and 2.0 they do not behave the same. It is behaving different when the xbpcheckbox object is disabled.

Code: Select all

Here is a fix for you: _DCCLASS.PRG (line 1208)

WAS:

Code: Select all

DC_XbpSetColor( ::color, self, ::setParent(), ;
                  aGetListItem[aGETLIST_PRESENTATION], .t., .t. )

IS:

Code: Select all

IF Valtype(::color) $ 'ANB'
  DC_XbpSetColor( ::color, self, ::setParent(), ;
                  aGetListItem[aGETLIST_PRESENTATION], .t., .t. )
ELSE
  ::setColorBG(XBPSYSCLR_TRANSPARENT)
ENDIF

Thanks, Roger. That fixed the checkboxes. I also had to add the same lines in at 385 for the dc_XbpStatic, so that the background on Says for a code block would also be transparent.

I made that change too.
Both changes will be in the next build.
