I'm beginning to see why NOTITLE (and non-resizable) skinnable
windows would be a lot easier though. Would window text be the
the only problem left then?

Yeah, if going skin, then TEXT would be the only thing left to worry
about. When skinning, I usually only use TEXT from VDS.. I won't
add BUTTON or anything else.. No GROUP either.

Hey Hortalonus,
You're welcome. I'm not sure if the TRANSPARENT style is even
in the VDS3 help file - there's several things that arent...
BTW, I think you'll find that most of us don't use the Dialog
Designer. It's kinda like training wheels - good if ya really
need 'em, but at a certain point they begin to hinder your
progress. LOL, that's my opinion anyway. 
Cheers, Mac |
Ehhhhh..... Ok, I do still use the Dialog designer a lot. But initially
to just layout the gui. After that, it's all by source code to adjust
and such. Call me lazy or spoiled.. Not sure which.

OK - looks like a status bar stays the same height as the
title bar when settings are changed.
Cheers, Mac

That's good to know. I normally don't use the status element myself,
which is why I didn't bother checking for it in the source code. I make
my own status bars using GROUP and TEXT, or if a skinned interface,
then it's part of the bmp.

Hey Garrett,
I found out the status bar isn't exactly the size of the title
bar, but it's based on it.
Here's what I have so far. I think it's finished, but it needs
some more testing, and I have no idea what it does on a
different OS. I'll try to post some examples with it later
and maybe we can get a few folks to test it on different
systems.

| Code: |
:GetWindowSpecs
rem -- Titlebar/status bar/menu height and side/bottom border width --
%c = "TempWindowToGetWindowSpecs"
rem -- Normal and RESIZABLE have different title heights --
if %%resize
DIALOG CREATE, "GetWindowSpecs",-1,0,200,200,RESIZABLE,CLASS %c
else
DIALOG CREATE, "GetWindowSpecs",-1,0,200,200,CLASS %c
end
%%b_lside = @div(@diff(@winpos(#%c,W),200), 2)
%%b_rside = @pred(%%b_lside)
%%b_lside = @succ(%%b_lside)
%%b_bottom = %%b_rside
%%t_height = @diff(@diff(@winpos(#%c,H),200),%%b_bottom)
%%sb_height = @diff(%%t_height, @succ(%%b_bottom))
DIALOG ADD,MENU,MenuTest
%%m_height = @diff(@winpos(#%c,H),@sum(200,%%t_height,%%b_bottom))
DIALOG CLOSE
%c = @event()
%c = ""
exit

[EDIT] Quite a few changes - am on my way to post a test example.
Cheers, Mac
