Tabcontrol color

[Frank Brübach]

Hi all

I have a question to a tabnotify.o2bas example (Demos,/winGui folder)

Its possible to Change the color Background of the whole tab Control for example to blue?

Either this must Work with WM_Ctlcolorbtn or WM_drawitem

Thank you Charles two examples in WinGui Folder I didnt know yet

1) One solution I have found already for colorizing the right click window

2) another way I have to Go with drawitem cause If I am including a tab Control the First way doesn't Work

See you nice evening

[Charles Pegge]

You can also colorize the main window background

At the end of WM_CREATE:

Code Select Expand

      SendMessage hwnd,WM_ERASEBKGND,0,0
then

Code Select Expand

    case WM_ERASEBKGND
    ==================
    int bcolor=0x000080
    RECT r
    GetClientRect  hwnd,@r
    sys hbr=CreateSolidBrush bcolor
    'wparam is hdc
    FillRect wparam,@r,hbr
    DeleteObject hbr   
    return 1


[Zlatko Vid]

Is there a way to use this :

 SendMessage hwnd,WM_ERASEBKGND,0,0

from any part of code ?

[Frank Brübach]

Now thats my Second attempt with the tab Control Here with color and right click example but the tab Pages dont visualized correct

And I am using wm_paint too for hwndtab  control.. wm_erasebkgnd paint the Main window Here

Something is Missing or the Setup is wrong

Hi Aurel,

this call is needed only once to create the initial background on WM_CREATE. Then windows can have full control of WM_ERASEBACKGROUND thereafter

[Frank Brübach]

Good morning all...

the Problem still remains with colorizing the tabcontrol with right click example...

If I am using for the childwindows hwnd I have Got the Grey tab Control with weekly days all OK so far...

If I am using for childwindows with hwndtab in IT and use below wm_paint in wndproc I can colorize the tab Control with createsilidbrush rgb(125,255,100) a greeny color the tab Pages dont appear

Frank
something is wrong with your window paint and erase back
because when we move windows he tend to remove sys buttons and windows frame
at least on my win7 64 bit

[Zlatko Vid]

Also
you put a lot of stuff under WM_CREATE which is not
good as far as I can tell you from my experience ?

..and why is your "GLOBAL" code under Callback function?
hmm ..i will check this better

just create mess-up with other code ?

also what is this :
MainWindow 520,420,WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

you don't have handler of this main window, it is too limited
kind of tik-tok style 

main window should be :
hwnd = CreateWindowEx 0, ClassName, caption, style, Wx, Wy, Ww, Wh, wparent, 0, inst, 0

oups
i just looked into WinUtil
so this is for MainWindow

  CreateMainWindow 'MACRO WITH OPENGL OVERRIDE

i think that MainWindow is just wrapper but it looks that is for openGL ?
