Re: Themes & Colors

Since any application that took it upon itself to mess with the color
schemes and/or screen resolution on MY (or any computer in our offices) that
would have an impact on other applications, would soon find itself in the
circular file.

To get the silver XP theme, set the XP theme to the silver one. IOW, let
XP
do the work.

If this was what I needed I would have posted my question in a NB for the
mentally challenged...
Thanks anyway

Hello Dan;
using VFP9 SP1. Had problems with the cursor disappearing etc. App was
not
transported from FPW. Is there a Color scheme I can access in XP to
change
the XP Color Scheme to Silver with Themes enabled?

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
