Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Listview Colors and Buttons Images...

[Jez W. <je...@je...>]

Arh. I understand now. I use a psudo toolbar - basically a row of =
buttons with new/cut/copy/save bitmaps (much like Loft). When the bitmap =
has 16 colours and the button is disabled, the bitmap is "shadowed =
correctly" (not sure if this is correct terminology!) - but when I use a =
bitmap with more colours, the bitmap becomes solid grey (when disabled). =
I have never found a work around.

The ideal solution would be to use a toolbar with imagelist/hot tracking =
functionality working...

  1) I think what is is saying is that when a button is disabled, the =
corresponding image is no longer shown and the clientarea that the image =
was in becomes dark gray.   I think he wants something like many menu's =
in many Windows applications (such as Outlook 2000) where the paste =
"icon" is disabled and the image is grayed out until there is something =
on the clipboard, but the image outline is fully viewable.   My =
assumption is that there is a separate copy of the image(clipboard.bmp =
and clipboarddisabled.bmp for example)  which is switched out during the =
disable event for the menu item and then back when the menuitem is =
enabled. =20

  I have no clue how to make this work with a menu, nor do I have time =
to test right this minute.  I would have even less idea about making it =
work right for buttons.

  2) ditto.  Look at the grid control, it is very cool.

    Hi,

    In my view, Win32::GUI is very capable - much more capable than =
first impressions. It can be used to build large applications. There are =
a few issues with some of the controls missing basic functionality, but =
this is changing all the time. The major problem - in my view - is with =
documentation and examples - but hopefully this is being addressed to.

    As for your points (for what it's worth!):

    1) Not sure what you mean by selecting the greyed color image?

    2) Not sure if you can change colors in a listview - however, look =
at the grid control:
    http://perso.club-internet.fr/rocherl/Win32GUI.html#Grid

    3) You can change the colors in the progress bar - make sure you =
have the latest version of Win32::GUI
    http://perso.club-internet.fr/rocherl/Win32-GUI-Dev/index.html

    4) The status bar - you can control the size, just like any other =
control (Height, Width methods when the window resizes). If you have the =
latest version, you can split the status bar into parts, set icons and =
text to each part etc.

    5) Dunno:)

    6) Dunno:)

    Cheers,

    jez.

      Hi All,

      I am still trying everything in the GUI packages and I have some =
few
      questions that I can not find a clue:

      1)-When I use image on button, if you disable the button, the =
button is
      completely dark grayed.
      Is there a solution to select the grayed color or image:

      $SaveAsImage  =3D new GUI::Bitmap('saveas.bmp',0,22, 22);
      $SaveAsButton =3D $MainWindow->AddButton(
             -text    =3D> "Save As",
             -name    =3D> "SaveAsButton",
             -left    =3D> 510,
             -top     =3D> 440,
             -width   =3D> 22,
             -height  =3D> 22,
             -foreground    =3D> 0,
        -visible=3D> 0,
        -tabstop    =3D> 1,
        -tip=3D>"Save As",
        -bitmap=3D>$SaveAsImage,
            );

      2)-Is  there a way to switch between colors in the Listview, i.e. =
display
      each row with different color

      I can not even change the Listview foreground and background =
colors:

      $Listview =3D $MainWindow->AddListView(
             -text    =3D> "",
             -name    =3D> "Listview",
             -left    =3D> 408,
             -top     =3D> 372,
             -width   =3D> 252,
             -height  =3D> 128,
        -visible=3D> 0,
        -addstyle     =3D> WS_CHILD | WS_VSCROLL|WS_HSCROLL| 1,
        #-gridlines =3D> 1,
        -checkboxes =3D> 1, # see ItemCheck(INDEX)
        #-hottrack   =3D> 1,
        -tabstop    =3D> 1,
        -background =3D> $BGColor,
        -foreground =3D> $ForColor,
            );
      $ListviewC1 =3D $Listview->InsertColumn(
          -index =3D> 0,
          -width =3D>245,
          -text  =3D> "First Name",
       -visible=3D> 0,
      );

      3)- Progressbar: How to change the colors or Not.

      4)- The status bar, you can not control its size or location, =
looks normal!.

      5)- If I use the AddGroupBox to pack a group of controls, works =
very fine
      except it disables the functions on the kids like the colors and =
Tabs.

      6)-The Textfield in Multiline  mode, does not accept Enter when it =
is
      grouped
      by AddGroupBox, it only accepts Ctrl+Tab, any work around for =
this.

      It would be very nice if anyone how has a good experiance and =
built a larg
      projects
      using this GUI if he post a some code to help others understand =
the clues of
      the functions
      instead of everyone new is just trying and guessing.

      Thanks all
      Ramy
