Drawing custom themed buttons

Hi,

Apps like Windows Media player add a button to the title bar, that removes the outside frame of its window. Other apps draw a button to minimize to tray. All these are coloured according to the current xp colour theme

I don't want to put one in the title bar. I'd just like a button like the combobox to put next to a get control, which has a browse attached to it.

Has anyone done something like this, or stumbled across a way of doing this?

I don't want to keep a copy of the combo box button as a bmp, because the colours can change.

Alex,

You may use a Class TButtonBmp button. Please review samples\TestBuBm.prg

Hi,

I know about those, but I want a button drawn that looks like the xp combobox arrow button. It must also use the colours of the current xp theme (like blue, silver and olive green defaults)

Hi,

Below is some cpp code that does it:

Code: Select all

TEMPLATE void CDialogMinTrayBtn<BASE>::MinTrayBtnDraw()
{
    if (!MinTrayBtnIsVisible())
       return;

    CDC *pDC= GetWindowDC();
    if (!pDC)
       return; // panic!

    if (IsWindowsClassicStyle())
    {
        CBrush black(GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT));
        CBrush gray(GetSysColor(COLOR_GRAYTEXT));
        CBrush gray2(GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNHILIGHT));

        // button
        if (m_bMinTrayBtnUp)
           pDC->DrawFrameControl(MinTrayBtnGetRect(), DFC_BUTTON, DFCS_BUTTONPUSH);
        else
           pDC->DrawFrameControl(MinTrayBtnGetRect(), DFC_BUTTON, DFCS_BUTTONPUSH | DFCS_PUSHED);

        // dot
        CRect btn = MinTrayBtnGetRect();
        btn.DeflateRect(2,2);
        UINT caption = MinTrayBtnGetSize().cy + (CAPTION_BUTTONSPACE * 2);
        UINT pixratio = (caption >= 14) ? ((caption >= 20) ? 2 + ((caption - 20) / 8) : 2) : 1;
        UINT pixratio2 = (caption >= 12) ? 1 + (caption - 12) / 8: 0;
        UINT dotwidth = (1 + pixratio * 3) >> 1;
        UINT dotheight = pixratio;
        CRect dot(CPoint(0,0), CPoint(dotwidth, dotheight));
        CSize spc((1 + pixratio2 * 3) >> 1, pixratio2);
        dot -= dot.Size();
        dot += btn.BottomRight();
        dot -= spc;
        if (!m_bMinTrayBtnUp)
           dot += CPoint(1,1);
        if (m_bMinTrayBtnEnabled)
        {
           pDC->FillRect(dot, &black);
        }
        else
        {
           pDC->FillRect(dot + CPoint(1,1), &gray2);

	else
	{

		int iState;
		if (!m_bMinTrayBtnEnabled)
			iState = TRAYBS_DISABLED;
		else if (GetStyle() & WS_DISABLED)
			iState = MINBS_NORMAL;
		else if (m_bMinTrayBtnHitTest)
			iState = (m_bMinTrayBtnCapture) ? MINBS_PUSHED : MINBS_HOT;
		else
			iState = MINBS_NORMAL;
		// inactive
		if (!m_bMinTrayBtnActive)
			iState += 4; // inactive state TRAYBS_Ixxx

		if (m_bmMinTrayBtnBitmap.m_hObject && _TransparentBlt)
		{
			// known theme (bitmap)
			CBitmap *pBmpOld;
			CDC dcMem;
			if (dcMem.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC) && (pBmpOld = dcMem.SelectObject(&m_bmMinTrayBtnBitmap)) != NULL)
			{
				_TransparentBlt(pDC->m_hDC, btn.left, btn.top, btn.Width(), btn.Height(), dcMem.m_hDC, 0, BMP_TRAYBTN_HEIGHT * (iState - 1), BMP_TRAYBTN_WIDTH, BMP_TRAYBTN_HEIGHT, BMP_TRAYBTN_TRANSCOLOR);
				dcMem.SelectObject(pBmpOld);
			}
		}
		else
		{
			// unknown theme (ThemeData)
			HTHEME hTheme = g_xpStyle.OpenThemeData(m_hWnd, L"Window");
			if (hTheme)
			{
				btn.top += btn.Height() / 8;
				g_xpStyle.DrawThemeBackground(hTheme, pDC->m_hDC, WP_TRAYBUTTON, iState, &btn, NULL);
				g_xpStyle.CloseThemeData(hTheme);
			}
		}
	}

    ReleaseDC(pDC);
}

New class help

Hi,

I created a new class based on tpanel, in which the paint event becomes:

Code: Select all

METHOD Paint() CLASS QButton

  DrawQBBackground(::hWnd, ::hDc)

RETURN NIL
DrawQBBackground comes from:

Code: Select all

#include <WinTen.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <ClipApi.h>

#ifdef __FLAT__
   #include <ShellApi.h>
#endif

#ifdef __HARBOUR__
   #include <hbapiitm.h>
   #include <hbdate.h>
   #include <hbset.h>
#endif
#include "uxtheme.h"

HB_FUNC( DRAWQBBACKGROUND )
{
   HTHEME hTheme;
   HDC hDc;
   HWND hWnd;
   RECT rcWnd;
   int iStateId = 1;

   hWnd    = ( HWND ) _parnl( 1 );
   hDc = ( HDC ) _parl(2);

   GetClientRect( hWnd, &rcWnd );

   hTheme = OpenThemeData(hWnd, L"BUTTON");

   if ( hTheme)
   {
      DrawThemeBackground(hTheme,
                    hDc,
                    0,
                    0,
                    &rcWnd,
                    NULL);
    _retni(1);
   }
   else
   {
    _retni(0);
   }

}
Unfortunately, I don't see anything :(

Is there a C wizard which can help me out here

Try

Code: Select all

hDc = ( HDC ) _parnl(2);
Perils of the cast. :-)

Thanks, that change works, along with changing the first zero to 1 in the DrawThemeBackground call, and the second parameter is 1 for normal 2 for "hot", 3 for down, and 4 for disabled.

Only problem now is detecting when mouse leaves the control. I've copied the basics from btnbmp:mousemove but no luck so far. What am I missing?

Code: Select all

METHOD MouseMove( nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags ) CLASS QButton

//   Super:MouseMove( nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags )


   if IsOverWnd( ::hWnd, nRow, nCol )
      ::nState := 2
   else
      ::nState := 1
   endif

   ::Refresh()
return nil
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
METHOD Paint() CLASS QButton

  // 1 Regular
  // 2 Mouse over
  // 3 Down
  // 4 Disabled

  DrawQBBackground(::hWnd, ::hDc, ::nState)

RETURN NIL

Try adding hb prefix to all the _par* and _ret* functions.

I don't have a problem in my C code anymore. It links and works perfectly. I now need to detect in my control events when the mouse leaves my control.

I suppose you receive mousemove while in the control, but what do you receive when the mouse moves out of the control?

Have a look at how tooltips are managed. Or TBtnBmp states.

I copied the whole btnbmp mousemove event, and removed everything I didn't need :)

Code: Select all

METHOD MouseMove( nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags ) CLASS QButton

   if ::lDrag .or. ! Empty( ::oDragCursor )
      return Super:MouseMove( nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags )
   endif

   Super:MouseMove( nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags )

   if IsOverWnd( ::hWnd, nRow, nCol )
      if !::lCaptured
        ::Capture()
        if ::nState != 2
          ::nState := 2
          ::Refresh()
        endif
      else
        ::Refresh()
      endif
   else
      if !::lCaptured
         ReleaseCapture()
        if ::nState != 1
          ::nState := 1
          ::Refresh()
        endif
      else
        ::Refresh()
      endif
   endif

   ::oWnd:SetMsg( ::cMsg )

return 0
