CJPushButton Image

[skiman]

Hi Roger,

If I use the IMAGE clause of cjPushButton the image isn't transparent.

This is the syntax I use:

Code: Select all

	
@ 170,10 CJPushButton oBut1 ;
       Size 130,30 ;
       Caption fMessage(6000) ;
       ToolTip fTooltip(6000) ;
       Font '8.Arial Bold' ;
; //       TextImageRelation xtpTextBeforeImage ;
       Transparent ;
       Appearance xtpAppearanceOffice2007 ;
       Style xtpButtonNormal ;
       COLOR GRA_CLR_BLACK, GRA_CLR_WHITE ;
       Parent aWindows[1,1] ;
       ReSize DCGUI_RESIZE_RESIZEONLY ;
       Image ABO_KLANTN ;
       ACTION {|o|lHideDagb:=.T.,;
			o:=Thread():new(),o:start({||fFacturen(oDlg:drawingArea)}),dc_clearevents() }  ;
       when {|| frights("ADH") } ;
       PIXEL

ABO_KLANTN is a resource from my abo_res.DLL.

Any idea?

Chris -

I have a bad feeling about this.
I suspect that transparency doesn't work even though there is a membervar named :transparent in the pushbutton control.

If you look at the Pushbutton control docs, the description under the member "transparent" is the following:

Determines if the background of a TabControlPage is visible in WinXP mode.

If you click on the hyperlink under "transparent" it takes you to a description that is entirely ambiguous and not related at all to pushbuttons. I suspect that this is a feature that is misdocumented and is probably not supported.

hi,

what Type is your Image, BMP or ICO ?

i did not have that Problem with HX_Class as you can see Attachment

CJ_PushButton.jpg (15.3 KiB) Viewed 33095 times

i did have a look into old XCodejock Code and saw

Code: Select all

STATIC FUNCTION _ButtonBlock( i, aDir, nOffset )
RETURN {|o,b|o:caption := 'Appearance ' + Alltrim(Str(i)), ;
           o:appearance := i, ;
           b := DC_GetBitmap('..\..\..\bitmaps\' + aDir[i+nOffset,1]), ;
           b:transparentClr := AutomationTranslateColor(b:transparentClr,.f.), ;
           o:picture := b:getIPicture(), ;
           o:imageGap := 20, ;
           o:click := {|a,b,o|MsgBox('button ' + Alltrim(str(i)))}}

as i can see, this Function use DC_GetBitmap() and use o:picture
but there is also a Icon Property which need ImageManagerIcon.

Code: Select all

   VAR Icon                            // Xbase++ NEW
   VAR x_Icon2
   ASSIGN METHOD _IPicture()           VAR x_Icon2
...
METHOD HX_Button:Create(...)
   //
   // ImageManagerIcon as XbpActiveXControl
   //
   ::oImgList        := XbpActiveXControl():new(,, {0,0}, {0,0} )
   ::oImgList:CLSID  := "Codejock.ImageManager"+HX_VERSION()
   ::oImgList:create()

   IF ::Icon == NIL
      ::Icon := "DUMMY.ICO"
   ENDIF
   IF ::Caption == NIL
      ::Caption := ""
   ENDIF
   IF ::preSelect == NIL
      ::preSelect := .F.
   ENDIF
   //
   // after create ?!
   //
   // ASSIGN METHOD "transfer" data
   //
   ::x_Icon2   := ::Icon
   ::x_Caption := ::Caption
   ::x_Default := ::preSelect

   ::UseVisualStyle := .T.
   //
   // set Presentation Parameter to activeX
   //
   IF .NOT. EMPTY(::aPres)
      HX_PresPara(self)
   ENDIF
   //
   //
   //
   ::Show()
RETURN self

METHOD HX_Button:_IPicture(xValue)     // COM iPicture
LOCAL lOkValue := .T.
LOCAL oLogo
LOCAL oPicture
LOCAL oIco
LOCAL lIco     := .T.
LOCAL nHandle
LOCAL oIcons
LOCAL nResource
LOCAL nCommand

IF PCOUNT() > 0
   IF ::nIcons <= 0
      ::nIcons := 1
   ELSE
      ::nIcons++
   ENDIF

   IF VALTYPE(xValue) = "C"            // STRING
      DO CASE
         CASE ".BMP" $ UPPER(xValue)
            ::oImgList:Icons:LoadBitmap(xValue,::nIcons,xtpImageNormal)
            lIco := .F.

         CASE ".ICO" $ UPPER(xValue)
            ::oImgList:Icons:LoadIcon  (xValue,::nIcons,xtpImageNormal)
      OTHERWISE
         lOkValue := .F.
      ENDCASE

   ELSEIF VALTYPE(xValue) = "N"        // Resoure ID
      oIco := HX_Icon():new():create()
      oIco:load( ::cResDLL, xValue )

      IF NIL = oIco
      ELSE
         ::setproperty("Picture", oIco:getIPicture() )
         ::nIcons++
      ENDIF
      RETURN self
   ELSE
      lOkValue := .F.
   ENDIF

   IF ::oImgList:Icons:Count() == 0
      MSGBOX("Icons "+LTRIM(STR(::oImgList:Icons:Count()))+" can not continue")
   ELSE
      IF lOkValue == .T.
        oIco := ::oImgList:Icons:GetImage(::nIcons,32)
         ::setproperty("Icon"   , oIco )
         ::nIcons++
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDIF

RETURN self

as i can say, BMP have to be use ImageManagerIcon assing to Property Icon
while ICO have to load with XbpIcon() and use with Property Picture

Hi Jimmy,

I'm using BMP files.

I think that using that imagelist will be necessary when using Codejock. Roger succeeded to avoid this for some commands, but it seems as the use of the imagelist will solve problems as this.

[rdonnay]

I am misunderstanding something here.

If you run the Pushbutton sample in \exp19\XCodeJock\Samples\SuiteControls\PushButton\Pushbutton.prg, you will see that the images display correctly on the buttons with proper transparency.

What is it that you are looking to do?

[rdonnay]

Jimmy -

The old XCodeJock code no longer is applicable.
I don't do anything that way any more.

The new XCodeJock uses the image manager.

Hi Roger,

Yes, the cjpûshbutton sample is working with transparancy. This is with the use of SuiteControlsGlobalSetting and cjLoadBitmap.

No problem for me if that is the way to use it. I thought it could maybe be done direct in one command.

[Tom]

I get transparent bitmaps as cjpushbutton captions working if the bitmap has the background color I defined with DC_BitmapTransparentColor. If I use icons, there is no transparency, whatever I do.

[rdonnay]

Ok, now I understand.

It may be possible to do it in one command.
I will check into this.

Hi Roger,

Did you find the time to check this?
