hi,

> I am looking for a sample code for a round or oval XbpPushButton.

you can use CreateEllipticRgn() / SetWindowRgn() to create a Mask for Round 
Control

Hello Jim.
Good night.
Is it possible to change the color of the frame?

Frame Color is not Part of visual Style.
visual Style paint Frame with

@USER32:DrawFrameControl(hDC, rcs, nDFCS )
@USER32:DrawFocusRect(hDC,@rcs)

you can simulate with Xbase++ Ownerdraw

IF BAnd(aInfo[3], XBP_DRAWSTATE_FOCUS) == XBP_DRAWSTATE_FOCUS
   aLAttrs[GRA_AL_COLOR] := nColor1
   GraSetAttrLine(oPS, aLAttrs)
   aRect  := ::CurrentSize()
   aRect  := {0, 0, aRect[1] - 1, aRect[2] - 1}
   GraFocusRect(oPS, {aRect[1] + 3, aRect[2] + 3}, {aRect[3] - 2, aRect[4] - 
2})
ENDIF

p.s. when using Windows Imagelist you can create you own visual Style so no 
Color need
have a look at Pablo Website www.xbwin.com -> Forum

Carlos,

In the code that I sent you, you have the nBorderClr iVar that you can use 
to assign any color. You can check its effect in the sample that is 
included, also in the screenshot of my previous message.

Have not you received it?

Itai,

Xbase does not draw the curves with a good resolution. As much as possible, 
I try not to use them. But integrating Jim's approach, I created a class to 
manage rounded buttons.

I think the result is pretty good.

Incredibly good work ... especially full round buttons
I work with TopDown library but this sample is something
completely different.

Would you be so kind and send me the modified code?
What about a text in two rows?

> What about a text in two rows?

you just need to enhance Style with BS_MULTILINE

   oCheck1 := XbpPushButton():new()
   oCheck1:caption := "AAAAAAAAA"+CHR(13)+CHR(10)+"BBBBBBBB"
   oCheck1:create( , , aPos, {nIcoX,nIcoY} )
   IF lPimpIt
      PimpMyXb(oCheck1)
   ENDIF

PROCEDURE PimpMyXb(oObj)
LOCAL hWnd
LOCAL nStyle
   IF VALTYPE(oObj) = "O"
      hWnd   := oObj:GetHWnd()
      oObj:hide()
      nStyle := @user32:GetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_STYLE)
      nStyle := nOr(nStyle, BS_MULTILINE)
      @user32:SetWindowLongA(hWnd , GWL_STYLE , nStyle )
      oObj:Show()
   ENDIF
RETURN

This is the latest version and I do not plan to make any more changes.

I send the new code to all of you who have the previous version.

Hi Jim,

Yes, I know everything you mention, because for a long time I have used the 
:styleClass, :styleParts and :controlState iVars (you can find my message in 
this same ng with the StyleClass iVar title, from April 1, 2015).

This thread is not about buttons (in general) and in your screenshot I do 
not see anything that can not be done currently with the XbpImageButton 
class of Xbase++. Neither, a competition.

In the thread three questions have been raised, the first essential and the 
other two secondary:

1. Make rounded buttons (Itai Ben-Artzi).
2. Be able to have non-standard appearance (Carlos A. Beling).
3. The possibility of multiline text (Zupan Miran)

I compiled your sample here (and in Pablo’s site) I have not seen functional 
rounded buttons, but yes, a great idea (the use of SetWindowRgn() function). 
That's why I decided to develop a code that would answer these (and not 
other) questions.

Regards. Diego
Jim LeeRe: Round or oval XbpPushButton

hi Diego,

i just want to say that Checkbox is a Button which can be made round too

in last row there are some PUSHLIKE Checkbox as Button so you see no 
Difference 

PUSHLIKE Checkbox will stay down when o:Select.

Hi Jim,

I apologize, I did not mean to be rude or look angry. I do not speak English 
and it's hard for me to be able to express the usual nuances of a language.

My "problem" with your last screenshot is that I think it's out of the 
question of rounded buttons. I just wanted to express that.

Here we say: The relevant information helps, too much information only 
generates noise.

Hi to all "Round Buttons" lovers ...
just a hint (which all you already know ...)


oXbp := RoundPB():new()
    oXbp:tabStop  := .T.
    oXbp:caption  := TXT_CLOSE
    oXbp:nHoverClr:= GRA_CLR_ORANGE

//*** you can change the font for every button with ....
    oXbp:SetFontCompoundName( "12.Segoe UI" )

    oXbp:create( oDlg:drawingArea,, { aSize[ 1 ] - 188, aSize[ 2 ] - 280 }, { 28, 150 } )

They look beautiful.
I was just lurking to see how this would work out.
Didn't request a previous version, but I am interested in the final result.
Could I receive a copy of the source code as well, or would you share it
here?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

New public version with cosmetic changes (uff!... the curves and Xbase++ do 
not "marry" well), support for TopLeft and BottomLeft origin, and execution 
of the :activate codeblock when pressing Return and Space Bar.

As always, the best result is obtained by using the topleft origin.

Regards. Diego

PS: I had the curiosity to know the interest in these things...

My apps all have a business look.
Peolple find my apps very usefull and easy to use, but as they make use of
the standard interface elements, they find them look dull as well.
I wanted to start a project on this and your buttons will help me to get a
headstart on this.
