From: Harry B. on 3 Jun 2010 11:54 Karl-Heinz Rauscher offers some code for an owner drawn StatusBar object. Although he created it for VO2.7 only, I imported it to VO2.8, and it runs nearly well. Here the description of the issue I still have: 1. Starting the program brings "Di" at the lower right corner, setted by METHOD DrawDisabledODItem() CLASS StandardShellWindow. 2. Changing the window's size with the mouse using the lower right corner "Di" disappeares sometime. 3. Using menu "DrawEnabledODItem" brings up another text. 4. Changing window's size didn't hide this text. 5. Using menu "DrawDisabledODItem" brings back "Di", and size changing hides the text again. I could see this behavior in VO2.8 SP3 (2837) under Windows Vista. It seems to that the difference relates to SetTextEx using a string SELF:StatusBar:SetTextEx ( "Enabled" , #IDS_ODITEM ) or a variable SELF:StatusBar:SetTextEx ( cTrimText , #IDS_ODITEM ) I my application I can only use the version with the variable. So I want to know how to deal with this, that the text didn't hide. If someone can offer another alternative for an owner drawn StatusBar-Object, this would be welcome also. Thanks for any help! --Harry B.

Harry, > comp.lang.clipper.visual-objects didn't show postings with attachments. > So here my initial message. I someone likes the sample code, please send > me an email. Sure it does! It is your news server provider that makes the prohibition. > 1. Starting the program brings "Di" at the lower right corner, setted by > METHOD DrawDisabledODItem() CLASS StandardShellWindow. I don't understand what you mean. What are you trying to do? We have no problem with the status bar, nor would there be any issue creating your own. Simply copy the code in the SDK. Geoff |
