Emerson Santon Reed

Great job Emerson, once again thank you for sharing these great tools, muito obrigado!

Excellent work! I'll be downloading and taking a look.

Terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neat Emerson.

Thanks!

Couple of points:
1. In the Themed controls, after you move all the tabs (on the left), to the top, the last tab (7) has a minus sign. When you click on it, the whole set of tabs "wrap around" and tab 1 is displayed with all the tabs going to the bottom. I would expect that only tab 7 would go down exposing tab 6 and not wrap around.

I prefer the wrap behaviour. So, I created a property named Wrap in ToolBox to let the developer choose to wrap (.T.) or not to wrap (.F.).
It will be available in the next version.

2. Themed Controls in a tool bar - when I click the little arrow in the bottommost bar I always get this error:

Lparameters vNewVal
With This
  Local lnOldSelectedButton, lcTitle, lcPicture24
  lnOldSelectedButton = .SelectedButton
  .SelectedButton = m.vNewVal

  With .Panel
     If lnOldSelectedButton>0
        .Controls(lnOldSelectedButton).ChangeBackground()
     Endif
     .Controls(m.vNewVal).ChangeBackground()

The error is on the last line and is :

"Controls is not an object."

Fixed! Will be available in the next version.

Thanks for take a look at ThemedControls and for your valuable help with ZoomNavBar.

If you have more suggestions or find bugs, please contact me.

Thank you!

sweet! thanks you for this, will be downloading and testing this soon. :)

I'm from China.I am concerned about this classes has been a long time,sinc Outlook2003Bar.

It's great!!!

I would like to know that Whether there are plans to make the theme of OutlookNavBar and Toolbar consistency?

I have no plans to create a themed toolbar for now.
Have you looked to Goran Zidar's Tab Menu project at VFPX?
http://www.codeplex.com/VFPX/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Tab%20Menu&referringTitle=Home

In sample project,I note that button class of glass.vcx can set buttoncolor custom properties,It's value can be 1,2,3.but,OutlookNavbar can be set to one of the six themes。It will be a very good work If they can maintain the same visual effect .

This class isn't finished yet. I'll come back to work on it after help is finished and themes are implemented in ZoomNavBar.

In addition, For OutlookNavBar, I hope to be able to add my own custom class (For example:MyTreeView or MyListBar )in page(to Achieve a better effect), however, no change code in the class library under the premise, I can not find a suitable route.You can give me some suggestions?

To add your treeview, click on ThemedOutlookNavBar control and select Panes control. Panes is a pageframe and you must set the PageCount property to the desired number of buttons you want to show. Now, select the page where you want to place the treeview and drag and drop them inside the page. For each page in Panes pageframe, ThemeOutlookNavBar will show a button at run time.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

Thank you again!

Cool stuff.
Is there any way to have a layout that shows a leftmost panel and then to the immediate right, two panels but one on top of the other? i.e. not three panels all side by side.

Yes. Move and resize the controls to get the desired layout, change Anchor property of each control and handle the move when ThemedOutlookNavBar is collapsed/expanded in ViewModeChanged method.

A great job. I am using these classes in my applications and work perfectly.
There is a small problem:
Class ThemesManager creates a folder 'Temp' in the application directory. Sometimes this is not possible when the application directory is a file server.
Can you change the value of the property This.TempFolder?

This.TempFolder = GETENV ( "TEMP")
This.TempFolder = SYS (2023)

I'm creating the temp folder in the application folder because I have some issues in the past with Vista.

I'll take a look on it in the next version and make more tests.

Thanks for your suggestion!

In the 3.4.2 version, if ThemesManager can't create the temp folder inside app folder, it'll create all files in temp folder retrieved with Sys(2023) function.

Cool! You are Hero!

Perfeito! Parabéns...

Is there a way to add panes to the outlook navbar at run time? (Would need to set caption properties and such as well).

Hi Josh!

After set the OutlookNavBar.Panes.PageCount property to the number of buttons that you want, you can use the OutlookNavBar.UpdatePane() method to change the default buttons properties.

Something like this:

OutlookNavBar.UpdatePane(lnPane, lcCaption, lcPicture16, lcPicture24)

Hi Emerson,

Now,it's a question that I use Chinese in button caption . if I define HotKeys in button caption,I will have to add a English letter in button caption.In this case, the display will seem neither fish nor fowl.

Can you also further improve it?

Thank's again

Hi Xinjie!
I will need some help.
Please, contact me in private and I will try to fix it.

Hi Xinjie.
I've mande the changes in the class and it will be available in the 3.5.1 version.
The changes are little different from your suggestion, but the result is the same.
So, stay tuned in my blog or in VFPX to know when it will be released.
Again, thanks for your help!

Hi Emerson,
Just wanted to say ThemedControls rockx! Thanks.

Good work. But I have a problem. It's run perfect in Fox, but when I made an Exe file I've got a nice 'VFP stopped working' on screen...
I've used only themedexplorerbar in a screen toolbar.
Have You some advices (I've read all ready Your post about what and how to use, but it doesn't work).
Thank you, Dan.

Hi Dan!
Please, could you send me a sample reproducing this problem and give me more details about your development/test environment (Windows and VFP version)?
Thanks!

I appreciated for the ThemedControls, great class for VFP.
I want to use the zoomnavbar for the main menu, but how to change the dekstop screen with my picture ?

Regards
Vincentius

Hi Emerson, excellent work.

I subclassed themesmanager and llManualInitialization =. T.
There is a problem, LoadThemes can not run from the subclass because it is a hidden method.
Please set LoadThemes Protected.

Thanks

Hi Paco.
It was fixed and will be available in the next version.
Thanks a lot.
