Hi!
Is there a way to change the color (i. e. foreground and background) of a gadget?
The colours of my application are not quite correct under Win XP. The "Textgadget" is drawn with a grey (from Win 98/ME) background instead of white (from Win XP/modern design). Or are the gadget commands to be updated for Win XP?

Best regards,

I've been looking the documentation about the matter. The reason I haven't replied to this question is that I don't know the answer. Anyway, it seems that the method to change colors would difer from one gadget to another, and it would be more easily achievable if it's made before gadget creation, probably with SetClassLong_(). But the fact is, as I said, that I haven't had any success with it, sorry.

Change the color of your Window automaticly with:
Code: Select all
Procedure ColorizeWindow(Color)
Brush.LOGBRUSH\lbColor = GetSysColor_(Color)
SetClassLong_(WindowID(),#GCL_HBRBACKGROUND,CreateBrushIndirect_(Brush))
RedrawWindow_(WindowID(),0,0,7)
EndProcedure
;..... more code
OpenWindow(........
ColorizeWindow(#COLOR_BTNFACE) ;<- same color as textgadgets or buttons...
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day...
Franco
