FWH 8.08 - New ACTION clause for GETs

[Antonio Linares]

In FWH 8.08 an ACTION can be used with a GET, i.e.:

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, cTest := "Hello world!"

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd COLOR "N/W"

   @ 2, 2 GET cTest SIZE 100, 20 ACTION MsgInfo( "click" )

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil

So there is no longer need for Class TBtnGet

Is it possible to redefine the button caption or to put a bitmap on the button?

Nice.

I like the concept. I would like to see it look just like a combobox with a theme aware button. I have tried to do this before without success.

Yes, its going to support an optional bitmap too.

And we can make it themes aware

Looks real good.

I have a question due to my great lack of knowledge re FWH and other things of course. What is "themes support" and how does one initilaize it in a program?

Thank for this info.

[ukoenig]

That looks very nice.
Does it work with resources as well ?

Incredible!

Linares, and the right alignment with number values? The limit of end of get at button it's ok too?

[Antonio Linares]

Harvey,

Your application uses Windows themes when you include these lines in your RC file:

Code: Select all

#ifdef __FLAT__
  1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest" 
#endif

You can find the file "WindowsXP.Manifest" in FWH\samples\winxp folder.

Alternatively you can also have themes support if such file is in the same folder where your EXE is. Not sure about this way, as it is a long time since we don't use it.
