Sparkie, hope you don't mind another question (especially since I haven't sent the loose women yet) but...Where in that callback could I detect which gadget was requesting the draw?

I have two different windows opening and two different gadgets that need two different colours.

Is it the *pnmh\hwndFrom parameter?

something like:

Code: Select all

IF *pnmh\hwndFrom = #Gadget_listform_names

  FillRect_(*pnmcd\hdc, *pnmcd\rc, form\maincolour) (My main gadget)

Else

  FillRect_(*pnmcd\hdc, *pnmcd\rc, form\alternatecolour) (MY second gadget on other window

EndIf

I tried this earlier and got a "Gadget object not initialised"

Code: Select all

IF *pnmh\hwndFrom = GadgetId(#Gadget_listform_names)

  FillRect_(*pnmcd\hdc, *pnmcd\rc, form\maincolour) (My main gadget)

ElseIf *pnmh\hwndFrom = GadgetId(#Gadget_postcodeform_postcodes)

  FillRect_(*pnmcd\hdc, *pnmcd\rc, form\alternatecolour) (MY second gadget on other window

EndIf

*pnmh\hwndFrom in this case refers the handle of the individual header control for each ListIconGadget. Using GetParent_(*pnmh\hwndFrom) should point you to the handle/GadgetID() of each ListIconGadget.

Sorry fangs, my original post left out the GetParent_() etc. My fault!

Is there any downside to an apprentice asking too many questions of resident wizards? Do I get turned into a frog or a hamster's ear or something worse?

Seriously, you blokes are excellent, thanks for all that help.

/me runs out of the batcave to try some code.

How does "BatAss Fangles" sound.

That's so true netmaestro. Since I have the graphical skills of a legless hyena and I lost my normal avatar (a terminally smelly hopping rabbit) it was time to find a new one.

Now I have to fix my ^@!$%!%$ web page and put it somewhere.

I hate editing web pages!

The resemblance to me is unbelievable. If I didn't know better, I'd think Sparkie was stalking me to design that picture.
