ProGUI V1.38 UI Library (Small Bug Fix)

[PrincieD]

Hey guys,

I've converted the prices to US Dollars now as this appears to be the norm on the net and what people are most used to. Hopefully the new update will be ready pretty soon too, just got a bit more work to do.

Cheers!

Chris.

US Dollars is the better way to go and I could have saved 5 bucks if waited, you owe me a beer Chris.
I have been wondering when you do updates, how do you handle the source update for Gold licence. By email

haha yes sorry about that, I'll make it up to you by adding lots of cool stuff to ProGUI

Yep thats right electrochrisso, I just send an email with the updated source package attached as a zip archive.

It is well worth the price of going to the Gold package, just in case you need to see how the code works.

Sorry,

You told us that 45,00 EURO was a good introduction price,
and that the price was going up after some time.
So I did brought the gold version.
And now I see the later price is lower than what you sold it.
I just feel a little bit F....t.

Greetings,
Marc

Hi Marc,

I apologize for the price change but I hope you appreciate that I need to live on the money that I make from ProGUI sales and had to do it based on the market demand:value (simply wasn't making enough to even buy food recently). i.e. 6 sales every 2 weeks at a slightly less price is better than 1 sale every 2 weeks at a slightly more expensive price.
Also please bare in mind that you will be getting the soon-to-be-released update for free and the major update for free and probably a few other updates for free after that too so you're not loosing the value of what you paid. I think what I've done is fair for everyone.

I hope you understand, I was simply doing what the business needed.

When using toolbar on xp and have changed the window color, when mouse hover over the buttons, hot default to silver rather than the window color. I know this is probably an xp thing, but is there anyway around this so toolbar is consistent between win xp, vista and 7.

Hi electrochrisso,

Could you post a couple of screenshots showing the problem please? or example source code that i can run?

Thanks!

Chris.

[electrochrisso]

This is the code from the ToolBar example, all I have done is add the SetWindowColor.

Code: Select all

; creates a window
Procedure Open_Window_0()
  
  OpenWindow(#Window_0, 50, 50, 800, 500, "ToolBarExExample 1", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_Invisible)
  SetWindowColor(#Window_0,$FFC0C0)
  ; this next command is important as it sets are newly created window to clipchildren
  ; which stops all the child components from being redrawn when unnessasery (reduced flickering, faster refresh)
  SetWindowLongPtr_(WindowID(#Window_0), #GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLongPtr_(WindowID(#Window_0), #GWL_STYLE)|#WS_CLIPCHILDREN)

On Vista and 7, button background shows in transparent blue.

Thanks electrochrisso,

I think this is a problem with the XP theme in general under Windows XP, If you use a PureBasic toolbar instead you should have the same issue.
Unfortunately I don't think the Microsoft UI designers in XP expected the window background colour to be different and the image data for the toolbar buttons have no alpha as this wasn't properly implemented in XP at that point. I will be adding skin support to the ToolBarEx along with all the other ProGUI controls but it might not make it into this release.

I know this is probably an xp thing, but is there anyway around this so toolbar is consistent between win xp, vista and 7.

You could try using the #UISTYLE_OFFICE2003, #UISTYLE_OFFICE2007 toolbarEx styles (needs to be in a rebar) with custom colours or the #UISTYLE_IMAGE flag with whole custom button images without the border.

I've just extended the skin subsystem to be able to handle different colour schemes for each skin. The Component parameter can now have an optional colour scheme name attribute separated by a colon e.g. : "buttonex : blue", "buttonex: silver" etc.. The global skin colour scheme can be set and if not set will be automatically set to the detected theme under Windows XP for example "blue", "silver", "olive", "grey". The cool thing is you can have/name your own colour schemes too
