Problem with New Development, Maybe?

[Fred Buffington]

Actually, Brent, the buttons are at the top of the dialog du 2-16 (2-14 for imgbuttons)
the graphic starts at dunit 20 so they aren't within the graphic area per se.
And the buttons work fine. I was simulating a button press (304) when the
left or right mouse button was pressed within the graphic. All worked fine until the update.

I have a copy of 8.01 on another computer and i can recompile it with that to make it work,
but would love to have 8.04 working.

This update is really discouraging. The Loadbitmap code I posted above, works just like the Control Graphic used to work. In Windows XP and Windows Vista. I am in the middle of redesigning my programs and this update comes along, and Vista, or I think Long Horn was a better name(path is a mile long to get to folder).
Can't understand how LoadBitmap can work like Graphic Control used to work. I guess once this
has been updated, they can't go back?

I am using winXP home and PB win 8.04. I can use %SS_CLICKED OR %SS_DBLCLK and using %SS_NOTIFY with my graphic and have the graphic respond by clicking anywhere on the graphic.

CASE %idc_graphic1
IF CBCTLMSG = %STN_CLICKED THEN
'MSGBOX "you clicked the graphic"
'DIALOG END CBHNDL, 0
END IF

I have a cancel button on my dialog which does not work if within the graphic with %SS_NOTIFY. Remove the %SS_NOTIFY and the cancel button works, but the graphic does not respond to a click.

From what I see here, I could have a small graphic showing an exit sign, for example, and would not have to have a cancel button, using the code above.

PB 8.04 seems to work as advertised here.

Thanks John, that fixes the click. Now works for clicking on graphic

       CASE %IDC_GRAPHIC1
           IF CBCTLMSG=%STN_CLICKED THEN
             SendMessage hDlgPreview,%WM_COMMAND,304&,0
          END IF

Now, just one more thing. The mouse Right button still is not acknowledged.
Before i use it to 'unzoom' if the dialog was in 'zoom' mode.

Actually it works (rbuttondown) as long as i am NOT over the graphic. Just found that.

I added "IF ZOOM&=0" to the send message above then added
IF CBCTLMSG=%STN_DBLCLK THEN
IF ZOOM&=1 THEN SendMessage hDlgPreview,%WM_COMMAND,304&,0
END IF
END IF

so now click to zoom, double click to 'unzoom'.

Thanks to everyone. you guys are the greatest.

Figured out how to use CONTROL ADD GRAPHIC, so it works like
before update 8.04, atleast for my program. Here is what I discovered:

Control Add Graphic: For single keypress hot key to work, add
%SS_NOTIFY style to the CONTROL ADD GRAPHIC, then before adding "&Stop" button, Add "CONTROL DISABLE hDlg43, %D_FRAM",
which is the graphic control.

      CONTROL ADD GRAPHIC, hDlg43, %ID_FRAM, "",       0,  0,  660,700, %SS_NOTIFY
      GRAPHIC ATTACH hDlg43, %ID_FRAM
      GRAPHIC RENDER "PICT\BaloonBorder2.bmp",        (0,  0)-(660,700)
      CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX, hDlg43, %IDS_TEXT, "",     45, 45,  570,625, _
       %ES_MULTILINE OR %ES_READONLY OR %ES_AUTOHSCROLL OR %ES_WANTRETURN, %WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
      CONTROL DISABLE hDlg43, %ID_FRAM
      CONTROL ADD BUTTON, hDlg43, %IDS_BUT, "&Stop", 300,679,   80, 20

Code for Alt+S, or left mouse click on button and NO Single keypress hot key, works this way: (There is no %SS_NOTIFY ON graphic control and no "CONTROL DISABLE hDlg43, %ID_FRAM")

      CONTROL ADD GRAPHIC, hDlg43, %ID_FRAM, "",       0,  0,  660,700
      GRAPHIC ATTACH hDlg43, %ID_FRAM
      GRAPHIC RENDER "PICT\BaloonBorder2.bmp",        (0,  0)-(660,700)
      CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX, hDlg43, %IDS_TEXT, "",     45, 45,  570,625, _
       %ES_MULTILINE OR %ES_READONLY OR %ES_AUTOHSCROLL OR %ES_WANTRETURN, %WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
      CONTROL ADD BUTTON, hDlg43, %IDS_BUT, "&Stop", 300,679,   80, 20

Great Job Brent !!

That fixes the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and RBUTTONDOWN.

every time i access the graphic putting new graphics on the next page,
i simply
CONTROL DISABLE hDlgPreview,%IDC_GRAPHIC1
and it works as before.
