Static style ID looks like and edit style ID

hag · Post by **hag** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 12:59 pm

In a dialog box I have an ID "static style" with a border that appears flat in 16 bit. After the dialog is converted to 32 bit the "static style" ID with the border takes on the appearence of a "edit text style" ID same as my "gets" they have depth.

The "window style" dialog style is "system menu" nothing elsed checked and the "class" is blank.

I want the "static style" to be flat with a border not having depth as a the "edit style".

How do I do it?

Yes. They look like edits.

will that remove my border. I need the border.

A SAY with the border looks like a GET, it's normal behavior.

I've been using fivewin 16 bit for 12 years and in 16 bit the say with a border was flat and never looked like a get. Now it reacts in 32 bit the same way as get. Any other suggestion?

Hi

I think you can try TGSay Class solution.

Regards,

Harvey,

From 16 bits to 32 bits there are some differences due to the Windows 32 API behavior.

Do as Enrico says. You can quickly remove them using a source code editor and doing a search and replace in the RC file.

I searched all directories and have not found any thing regarding tGsay class. Where would I get it.
