Paul Liebelt | scrollbars not visible in preview on Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:41:38 +0100 In version 1.9 we use a separate window for previewing reports. This window consists of a number of pushbuttons and the preview-window just like the one from the Alaska Preview-sample. In W98 /version 1.8 and 1.9, and W2k/version 1.8 it was handled fine, but in WXP sp2 / version 1.9 the scrollbars and pushbuttons were not visible when the window was displayed for the first time. Dragging the window outside the monitor area and back brings the scrollbars and the pushbuttons alive. The text in the pushbuttons could be made visible by adding a "paint" call. We do not know how to show the (inactive) scrollbars at the very start. There is no "paint" call available for scrollbars. We hope anyone of you xbase-developers can give us a hint in the right direction. Els & Paul | |
