W000t!?
The Peek / Poke commands have format flags? Didn't know that! :roll:
Thanks for pointing this out ts-soft!
PS: I should read the version changes from time to time damn it...

Just a side note: the Space(12) is not enough for an unicode string of 6 length; because of the double null char at the end (here you have 12 + 1, instead of 12 + 2). Use Space(13) instead.

indeed!
Code: Select all
( Len(string) + 1 ) * SizeOf(Character)
...the "+1" for the terminating zero should be within the multiplication...
(sorry for stating redundant information)

Any new progress netmaestro?
I tried very hard the last days to acomplish this but it seems to be impossible.

Yes, I have a version that is working for XP. It looks at the current theme and creates a button that fits in, then applies a programmer-specified graphic to it. From there the button is handled with code very similar to what I've already posted. But it won't work for Vista and when I have that solved I'll post the lib with the source, either in Tips & Tricks or Announcements.

Sounds very promising!
I'm very interested in how you have done it since I don't seem to be capable of doing it...

You can open the .msttyles file as a dll and use findresource_() or something on it.

Been there, done that. I extract the raw image from a resource named "*_CAPTIONBUTTON_BMP" and then try to draw it but I have clipping problems.

Well, it's been some time again...
Has anyone found a solution yet?

Any chance we can take a look it? At least it would be nice if you could explain how you done it.

Sorry, that particular code and the project it lives in aren't for release here.

Sorry to hear that but I can understand it. One last question though. Have you done it all alone or is there some kind of reference you could point me to?
