OpenDCL

As Owen mentioned in his last post, OpenDCL 4.1 now supports Windows Visual Styles. So what’s that mean? As you’ve probably noticed, each major version of Windows comes with a new set of visual styles or themes (Win2000, XP, Vista). In OpenDCL 4.1 most of the controls have the ability to turn visual styles ON/OFF. By default they’re ON & therefore inherit the visual style or theme of your current version of Windows. For example if you want to change the foreground color of a CheckBox, you will not be able to as the foreground color is controlled by the Windows visual style. Therefore you will have to set the “UseVisualStyle” = False for your new foreground color to take effect. Click this thumbnail for a screen shot comparing various controls with visual style ON/OFF.
