 |
|
In WinXP Pro I'm trying to move a group onto a tab element, but the color of the background changes from white to grey when I hide the existing group and show the new one.
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,372,325
DIALOG ADD,TAB,TAB1,4,5,365,278,Tab 1|Tab 2|Tab 3
DIALOG ADD,GROUP,GROUP1,41,13,345,225,GROUP1
DIALOG ADD,GROUP,GROUP2,1041,13,345,225,GROUP2
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Test,293,165,64,24,Test
DIALOG SHOW
:EvLoop
Wait Event
Goto @event()
:TestButton
DIALOG HIDE,GROUP1
DIALOG SETPOS,GROUP2,41,13
GOTO EvLoop
:Close
|
Any idea how to get around this...
Thanks,
Nathan |

Hi Nathan
I assume that U R using VDS 5 as XP theme is never applied to group element on TAB in VDS 4.x.
The whole problem i think is related to the fact that your second group is out of the Tab dialog element when the dialog is drawn and hence the white background style is not applied to it.
What I advice is that instead of moving out the group 2 in vertical axis you move it out in horizontal axis(else Ur OK button is caught with in the group) such that it is just within the tab element but out of the first group element(else group 2 includes group 1 and U get into trouble - conflicts may occur).
Now just after dialog show(Xp theme is applied) U move the second group totally out of sight.
Of course if U want the harder way U can use API and force the dialog to be redrawn once U show the second group(VDS 5)  but that is not needed as the above appears a simpler workaround 
Now Ur grups should work perfect:
See the code i modified:
Hope this helps , Let me know what happens...
Regards

DIALOG SETPOS,GROUP1,41,1090
DIALOG SETPOS,GROUP2,41,13
WAIT 2

Hi CodeScript,
I am using VDS 5, and your script works great. I took it one step further: having 5 tabs on my project, I could not place all the groups without overlapping, so I added 5 tab elements and move them with the groups.  I hate all the extra coding for such trivial problem, but hey, it works and looks good and that's what counts in the end
Appreciate the input!

Ummm.. I just added a SINGLE line to your script and I don't think many people consider it such a big addition like adding a section etc. unless ofcourse you are an assembly langauge programmer looking for a highly optimised smallest possible code. But here U end up distributing that fat 200+ kb vdsrun50.dll with your app 
May be I explained a lot of unwanted theory

I believe he was talking about his additions to the code, not yours.

Yep, was talking about my code, and having to move in the tab elements and the groups (X5). I was just commenting that it's a lot of coding JUST to have the XP styles draw correctly. Nothing wrong with you code Code Script, certainly helped pointing me in the right direction...
Thanks again
