Thanks to you both. The links were invaluable. The 1st certainly gets the stock system colors, while the 2nd is great for obtaining theme values.

Thanks again.

Can someone please tell me how to get the windows xp theme colors from a FB program?

Thanks Garvan... you nailed it... it works now. I didn't write the original code though... I just tried to do a quick and dirty conversion from the xblite version to see if it would work the same in FB. Obviously, it didn't without making major revisions. Now that it works, I'll look more closely at...

Yea... I agree. The problem is that the original XBLite program worked with exactly the same code. Somethings happening in the xblite code that I just can't figure out I guess. I hope someone on our forum will spot the problem... I sure haven't yet. In the WndProc() function there is a check on a va...

Thanks to Sisophone2001 and Antoni for their help. It's pretty obvious that there are MAJOR differences between XBLite and FreeBasic. I came close to converting it properly, but not quite. Antoni... even with your revisions, the right click popup menu doesn't work right. I'm not sure why and that's ...

FBC didn't like certain definitions and a cast was a way to get around the errors. Casting is a way of life in C so it didn't seem like there were too many to me;-). I'm not an expert on Windows programming, but I've noticed you've used a significant amount of Casts. Are they to hide warnings? If so...

I found the program below on the XBLite website. It would be useful in developing a GUI builder app for FreeBasic. I converted the program from xblite to FB. It works for the most part except for resizing the controls. When the mouse grabs a control to resize it in the FB version, it won't release i...

We're all fond of FreeBasic, but has anyone checked out XBLite yet?

You can find it here: http://www.xblite.com/

Right now I test a new version of gui, the last one. By the "the last one", I assume you mean that this current GUI project is the last GUI project that you will get involved with, once you have completed it;-) Right? If you are interest in this project keep in touch I am definitely inter...

eodor, Are you actively working on this project right now? You had started a couple other similar GUI projects in the past but never completed them. I'd like to help as much as possible, but only if you're serious about it. You talk about creating a rad ide, which would be a great idea, but the gui ...

Thanks MW,

This is more of a problem with fbEdit rather than GoRc. I realize I can use \42, etc., but you can also use "" but not in fbEdit. That was my original point .

The following STYLEs are missing from the xStyle Property in the Resource Editor:

WS_CHILDWINDOW
WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
WS_MINIMIZEBOX
WS_OVERLAPPED
WS_POPUPWINDOW
WS_TILED
WS_TILEDWINDOW

Without these, some of which I need, I have to manually edit the RC file every time I save a project in fbEdit
