SetGadgetColor & StringGadget: Win7 or PB-Problem?

[Marco2007]

Hi,

when I color a StringGadget on Win7, it looks like this (I don`t like the white thick Lines):


XP:

Sorry, if this has already been reported/discussed....

I think it is caused by the border of the StringGadget.

Try this to create an XP-like border

Code: Select all

StringGadget(0, 5, 5, 100, 20, "StringGadget", #PB_String_BorderLess | #WS_BORDER)

Excellent, but the PB-Team always says, we shouldn`t mix PB- and WinApi-constants or use Winapi-constants with PB-functions iirc.
It´s not centered correctly, but I think, there will be a flag for that...
Thx

You can, but it's not officially supported if something breaks later.

Ok, thx, too!

Could do something native?

A rather 'quick' way

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 300, 300, "")

ContainerGadget(0, 5, 5, 100, 20, #PB_Container_Flat)
StringGadget(1, 2, 2, 98, 18, "StringGadget", #PB_String_BorderLess)
CloseGadgetList()

SetWindowColor(0, #Green)
SetGadgetColor(0, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Green)
SetGadgetColor(1, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, #Green)

Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

very clever
Left one: #PB_String_BorderLess | #WS_BORDER (a little´bit too high)

the under-estimated container gadget is one of my best friends, i like to house gadgets inside them and tweak the life out of it, adding message bars to listicons, search boxes and such and add it as a custom gadget

this little string trick tho, i never thought of that
