Dialog background color
#1
how do i set the background color for a dialog ?
currently i use a bitmap ...

edit:
i am sitting in an internet cafe, so no chance to test.

// lets set red background and green text for our dialogs
SetDialogBkColor(RGB(255, 0, 0), RGB(0, 255, 0));


thanks

Create brush and return its handle on WM_CTLCOLORDLG. Two lines.

Code:
Copy      Help
\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

GdiObject- brush=CreateSolidBrush(ColorFromRGB(240 240 100)) ;;add this
if(!ShowDialog("Dialog32" &Dialog32)) ret

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x2020006 "" ""


ret
;messages
sel message
,case WM_INITDIALOG
,DT_Init(hDlg lParam) ;;*
,ret 1 ;;*
,case WM_DESTROY DT_DeleteData(hDlg) ;;*
,case WM_COMMAND goto messages2
,case WM_CTLCOLORDLG ret brush ;;and this
ret
;messages2
sel wParam
,case IDOK
,DT_Ok hDlg ;;*
,case IDCANCEL DT_Cancel hDlg ;;*
ret 1

This is really great. But how do you set the color for the background of the items in the dialog box, for example a Select List or Group title.
#4
Use one of these messages depending on control type:

WM_CTLCOLOREDIT
WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX
WM_CTLCOLORBTN
WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR
WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC

lParam is control handle. If you need id, use function GetDlgCtrlID.

Hello i have a list box in my dialog and i used WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX to put colour in but is there away to add color to the background of the text in the listbox because under the words its still white...
Thanks...
#6
Under case WM_CTLCOLOR..., use

Code:
Copy      Help
SetBkMode wParam 1

It sets texts drawing mode to transparent. To change text color, use

Code:
Copy      Help
SetTextColor wParam 0xff0000

Here 0xff0000 is blue color.

Also look at this:
Dialog fonts

Hello could someone help me with a password field for a web page... i have a dialog with a dropdown list with different webpages and one of the web pages need to have name and password entered could someone tell me how i would set it up so when the person first uses the dialog they can set the name and password for that webpage so the next time they use dialog they don't have to set password..hope i have explained what i want ok..
Thanks
#17
If he enters the password in the web page, QM cannot know it. If he enters the password in the dialog, use AutoPassword to transfer it to the web page, and use rset/rget to save and retrieve saved. Also encrypt/decrypt it for security.
