set_control_colour@

This does not seem to work for setting the control background colour; undefined at link time. set_control_text_colour@ does.

Thank you. I will change the help file accordingly.

Paul,

How do I change the background colour of a control dynamically, rather than with %`bg?

Was that the intention of set_control_colour@ because it does not seem to exist.

Regards

Ian

I cannot find a simple way to change the background colour dynamically.

set_control_colour@ does not exist.

It looks like I could add a new routine set_control_background_colour@ which would work for at least some if not all controls.

Paul,

Your proposal would be much appreciated

Regards

Ian

I have added a new subroutine for the next release. In the following sample the edit box will change to a green background when you click on the button.

WINAPP
program backcolour
integer iw,winio@,cb,hwnd
common hwnd
external cb
n = 0
iw=winio@('%rd&',n)
iw=winio@('%lc&', hwnd)
iw=winio@('%nl%cn&')
iw=winio@('%^bt[Green]',cb)
end

integer function cb()
integer hwnd
common hwnd
include <windows.ins>
call set_control_back_colour@(hwnd, RGB@(0,255,0))
cb = 1 
end

Thanks Paul

Regards

Ian
