Hey there A1880,

I can confirm that for the updated Frameworks.
Anyway using the original Framework that came with the Jabaco Installation it is blinking!
Something must have changed there.

Have a nice day...


Dani

Look at this:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…tBox.jsrc&old=9

There OlimilO have added tne linewhich makes this problem.
I know what he wanted with it. A cursor with negative colors. So that you see on a black background still a cursor/carret with white color.
But it don't work correct and makes this problem.

Don't know, which would be the best solution to fix it. I see three possibilities:
1. Outcomment this line.
2. Writing instead Then the carret have everytime the color of the foreground. Don't know if it already do it, if I would outcommenting it.
3. Trying to create a negative color. So that the foreground color is not important. Only the backgroundcolor.Currently I would have this solution for this:

But don't know, which of the three possibilities would be the better one. How works VB6?

Quoted

Public Property Let BackColor(v As Long)

Parent.setBackground(RGBtoColor(v))

Base.setBackground(Parent.getBackground())

Parent.setCaretColor(RGBtoColor(NotRGB(v)))

End Property

The line is in the BackColor Property. I have the same issue in my program but if I set the BackColor of the textfield while the program runs, the caret is perfekt afterwards.

I dunno if changing the lines as suggested will solve the problem as it uses the same information at the same point as the not working one.

The same is when i change the backcolor in the IDE.

During run the color remains white, i have to modify the color while the program runs.

Maybe the Init of the textbox has a problem, it looks the textbox is built but not komplet set correct.



I am not a big programmer just my 5c, maybe it helps.

O.O You are right. Thanks for that info.

The BackColor Property is right implemented, so I have looked at the NotRGB implementation.
But NotRGB is right implemented, too:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…c=svn81&r=81#94
And NotRGB works in Java-programs perfet.

And now you they, that it works during running ok, whats true.

Right.

Quoted

Ok. Thanks. That clarify all.
When you see after starting the IDE the BackColor white as 255;255;255 , then it is not really that color.
At first, there don't exists a special color. The color after starting the IDE is at first "Selection.Backcolor".
And "Selection.Backcolor" can be on different systems different. It is a system-color.
If you choose "Selection.Backcolor" it gives to RGBtoColor the color number -2147483635 which is as hex 8000000D. RGBtoColor looks for this system color number and give calls the right Java system color:
http://code.google.com/p/jabacoframework…rmation.java#30

But in
Parent.setCaretColor(RGBtoColor(NotRGB(v)))
NotRGB is called before RGBtoColor, because RGBtoColor return a color not a long integer.
So a hex 8000000D is after the NotRGB a hex 80FFFFF2. 80 is the alfha chanal. So the normal color is FFFFF2 => Red 255, Green 255, Blue 242.
Hmm.. a color which is not white and you can still differ from white. Possible the alpha chanel 80 gives the rest, so that you can not see the carret.

Have more to look at it a
MsgBox( RGBtoColor(-2147483635) )
gives out a ""java.awt.SystemColor[i=14]"
and a
MsgBox( RGBtoColor(255) )
gives out "java.awt.Color[r=255, g=0, b=0]"

Quoted

During run the color remains white, i have to modify the color while the program runs.

Ok. Right.

Quoted

I think there problem have more to do with handling of system colors.

Quoted

Yes, it helps much to find the bug. Thanks.

Nice that my thoughts helped you.
As an interim solution I use the following code, it sets each used Text field to the defined color white.
(Also @A1880)


After this, caret works perfekt.

Did anyone come up with a fix to this yet?

Also:

1. when I set a mouse listener for example tp a Jbgrid I can't get Me.mousepointer = vbHoureglass / vbDefault to work
--> does anyone know when setting a mouse listener to the JbGrid header, how to change the mousecursor?

2. at runtime when I set a Textbox (or other control) to FontBold nothing happens!


Thanks ...

Thx for the reminder. Will be updated the next time.

Currently not tested. I will look at it the next times.

I have tried it out and it works perfect.


works fine on my computer.

Thanks for testing. I guess I have to fiddle with this one. I think Jabaco does not like my 'milk theme' on XP SP3!!

Dani

OK, here is the scenario for my .FontBold Problem. It has nothing to do with a XP theme.



In either case cmdChangeSettings.FontBold = False will not happen and prgRef.tmpBool1 = False seems not to be addressed!
When I define Dim tmpBool1 as Boolen locally in the Sub it works for the variable.
cmdChangeSettings.FontBold = False stays Bold

Any thoughts on this one?

Dani

New Version of the files:
[ Jabaco-rev84.jar ]
[ FrameworkTest-rev84.jar ]
[ FrameworkTest-rev84-OnTheFly.zip ]
[ jabacoframework-src-rev84.zip ]

Normally you need only Jabaco-rev84.jar. Rename it to Jabaco.jar and copy it in your Jabaco-directory.

NICE ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH theuserbl

great to see that people stick around, very much appreciate it ...

Hey everybody,
here is some more about Fonts:

.FontBold does not change!!

In the JBGrid it is possible to set every cell to a different FontColor



But when a cell is selected the FontColor turns to a Default ForeColor. Is there any way to prevent that?
So it would stay red and only the BackColor changes!


Dani

Is working great.

Thanks theuserbl
