Re: Themes & Colors



Assuming you are using VFP8 or later, support for XP themes is built-in.

The turning off of Themes applies to forms transported from FPW.

Much against my better judgment I have to set windows XP themes and colors
in our app. We normally allow the users to set their own colors using
RGB(). A client wants us to disable this and set up XP themes. The choice
is Silver as opposed to the Default Blue. My problem is some users may
have Default Blue set up on their machines. I do not want to use
GetSysColor() or SetSysColor() if I can get away with it. Though I could
when the app starts and reset when it ends. Is there another way in VFP? I
can change the colors for all except the MessageBox() (use this a lot) and
the Form Title Bar. Any idea how to do this?

OR

How do I access the Silver XP theme, is there a scheme like in the old fox
days? If I can then I will change the scheme and reset.

Also I have seen quite a few posts about disabling themes for XP as it
causes erratic behavior i.e. cursor disappearing etc.

Any and all ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
