  • IIGS Title Bar syles (lined vs solid)

    From Paul MacMillan@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 12 19:45:33 2020
    I finally took the plunge into Toolbox programming (after procrastinating for about 33 years...),

    Using Orca/C (2.2.0) and having a blast so far. One thing I can't figure out, I am using NewWindow2 to create windows and they always have solid black title bars, not the lined ones (which to me look better). I looked thru the Toolbox Reference's Window
    Manager section and can't find a way to do this -- is there a style bit somewhere that controls the title bar style?

    Thanks

    Paul,

    Using Orca/C (2.2.0) and having a blast so far. One thing I can't figure
    out, I am using NewWindow2 to create windows and they always have
    solid black title bars, not the lined ones (which to me look better).
    I looked thru the Toolbox Reference's Window Manager section and
    can't find a way to do this -- is there a style bit somewhere that controls the title bar style?

    The easiest way to create and build windows, looking exactly as you
    want, and with all the controls in the right places, is to build them
    using Genesys, and then output them as Resource code in whatever format
    you require. C is one of the dozen formats available.

    Genesys makes it easy not only to build windows, but edit them later if
    you wish. I could not create my apps without it.

    I know of two versions of Genesys that are available, but prefer v1.2.4
    myself, as v1.3 tends to be less stable for me.

    Cheers - Speccie

    Genesys is very cool, thanks for that. Also in playing around with it I realize now that Window Color is a separate resource from the window and has a whole section in the Toolbox Reference devoted to it... geez, I got a lot to learn.

    After more than 30 years of using the Toolbox, I am still learning...
