Have a look at :
- PureCOLOR.chm : topic 'Unicode_Threadsafe'
- Purebasic.chm : topic 'Compiling your programs'

Hi, any plans for PureCOLOR to support coloring the text of StatusBar fields?

Gnozal Thanks!!! This is an excellent tool.

The problem cleared up when I made sure all programs were in default mode... one was in Unicode and one was in Ascii...

I sent a string to one and it showed up in the other as Japanese!!!!

All sorted out for now, but I do wish it autowrapped better!

That said I would still pay for this tool. The out of work, poor bastard with a cheap wife rates... but I would pay!!!

Currently, no.
But I will have to rewrite some functions anyway, so maybe.

PB, I went rootling around MSDN to find out how to colour the statusbar and you cannot change the individual fields as they are not children. To be able to do this, you would have to ownerdraw a statusbar and add child objects accordingly.

You can colour the statusbar as a whole this way however.

Code: Select all

#SB_SETBKCOLOR = $2001; Statusbar colour constant

SendMessage_(StatusBarID(#MyStatusBar), #SB_SETBKCOLOR, 0, 16755370)

[/code]

Update

Changes :
- menu bars are now also ownerdrawn : office style looks better
- new function PureCOLOR_SetMenuItemSelectionCallback() : the callback is a procedure called each time a menu item is (un)selected. Example of use : display some context sensitive information in the statusbar while a menu item is selected.

Would it be possible to have a function which retrieves the PureColor version ?
For example : PureColor_GetVersion()

It's currently displayed by the installer (or the ReadMe.txt for the PB3.94 version).

Absolutely, but I would like to retrieve the PureColor version in my own program .

Hi Gnozal,

I have a strange behavior on my Vista system with PB 4.10 and PureColor for PB 41.10
after Installing I start the example file containend in the purecolor package and try to compiling this in Unicode mode.

If this modi on, then the GUI hang!

Any Idea?

in the purebasic folder I have the following purecolor Library:

\PureLibraries\UserLibraries\PureCOLOR 3. ‎Dezember ‎2007 25,3 KB
\SubSystems\UserLibUnicode\PureLibraries\PureCOLOR ‎3. ‎Dezember ‎2007 25,6 KB
\SubSystems\UserLibUnicodeThreadSafe\PureLibraries\PureCOLOR ‎3. ‎Dezember ‎2007 25,7 KB

\Residents\PureCOLOR.res 2. ‎Januar ‎2006 610 Bytes

Thanks

jpd
