MSGItem 2007

[Silvio]

I have modify the method paint to change the msgbar
I rem

WndBoxIn( hDC, 3, nLeft - 2, ::oMsgBar:nHeight-5, nLeft + ::nWidth - 6 )

and I insert

WndBoxRaised( hDC, 0, nLeft - 4, 22, nLeft + ::nWidth -1)

Now when I define a msgitem ( txt) it show the txt on white background

I insert also before the DrawMsgItem function the command SetBkMode( hDC, 1 )

but it not change the error ... How I can make it ?

Silvio,

Do you want the msgitem to paint transparent over the light blue gradient ?

[Silvio]

yes look thi s message on footer http://fivetechsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8744

there is the picture

[Silvio]

can i insert gradient color on tabs class ?
I must create a new variable ( l2007) ?

[Antonio Linares]

Silvio,

MsgItems can be painted transparent, modifying the DRAWMSGITEM() function this way:

Code: Select all

...
   SetBkMode( hDC, TRANSPARENT );  // new

   // ExtTextOut( hDC, 2, 4, ETO_OPAQUE, &rc, "", 0, 0 ); no
   DrawText( hDC, cMsg, wLen, &rc, DT_CENTER);

The problem is that the background is not erased, so the new text does not erase the previous one. i.e.: see the clock running. We need to find a workaround for it

Do you mean Class TTabs ?

> I must create a new variable ( l2007) ?

yes, that would be the right way

Just draw a series of spaces and then the proper cMsg.

FWH uses to do that, but if the backgound has a gradient painting then its not a longer valid solution

source\function\drawitem.c

---------------
Is it possible to have 2007 look for TTabs control also ?

thanks Antonio

Antonio, I insert the code you sent me :

SetBkMode( hDC, TRANSPARENT ); // new

// ExtTextOut( hDC, 2, 4, ETO_OPAQUE, &rc, "", 0, 0 ); no
DrawText( hDC, cMsg, wLen, &rc, DT_CENTER);


but not run ok

Then Another question I wanted modify the color when the mouse is over the msgitem
where I must modify this color ?

[Antonio Linares]

Silvio,

yes, I know, thats what I commented. We need to find a way to repaint the background properly.

Do you want to change the color of the msgitem text when the mouse is over ?

Can't you use the same technique used for the page number in rpreview.prg?
