User defined gradient colors FWH 8.07

[Otto]

Hello Antonio,

I saw that bClrGrad is in those classes:
BAR, BTNBMP, WINDOW, XBROWSE

Could you please post some more examples how to use with BTNBMP and xBrowse.
And if there are more possibilities to use 'User defined gradient colors' also these.

Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

A XBrowse example:

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "XBrowse.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oBrw

   USE customer

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd
   
   @ 0,0 XBROWSE oBrw OF oWnd AUTOCOLS FOOTERS

   oBrw:bClrGrad = { | lInvert | If( ! lInvert,;
                             { { 0.5, nRGB( 63, 177, 66 ), nRGB( 197, 235, 198 ) },;
                             { 0.5, nRGB( 197, 235, 198 ), nRGB( 20, 186, 182 ) } },; 
                             { { 0.5, nRGB( 197, 235, 198 ), nRGB( 20, 186, 182 ) },;  
                             { 0.5, nRGB( 63, 177, 66 ), nRGB( 197, 235, 198 ) } } ) }

   oBrw:CreateFromCode()
   oWnd:oClient = oBrw
   
   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil

Please notice that I use gray color as my window background color

It would look even better if oBrw:nRecSelColor is assigned a suitable green color to match with the headers and footers

Antonio, could you please have a look at this code.
I can't see the gradient colors. Where do I have the mistake?
Regards,
Otto

Dear Uwe,

You could now create a nice visual designer for the XBrowse

[Antonio Linares]

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

Single BtnBmp buttons are not using bClrGrad yet. They will do it in next FWH build.

For now, they only use it when placed on buttonbars.

[ukoenig]

Hello,

to modify the Visual-designer with all the new
options : Gradient ..... , is on my to do-list.
As well i'm busy to create a new MAKE-tool.

Is it better, to carry on with xBrowse at first ?

Best regards
Uwe

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Uwe,

Its up to you, though there are many FWH users migrating from other browses to xbrowse these days and surely they will appreciate a visual assistant from you, thanks
