Look in Windows 10

[rdonnay]

First click gives the focus to the dialog, second click to activate the button.

This sound like a Windows 10 issue.
I'm not sure that I can do anything about this, but I will try.

I too have been using windows 10 since December. Company wants to switch and we would have already if not for a Cisco product not yet compatible with Win10. Most of the issues are resolved. I know the difference in the dialog presentation. Appears to be a windows10/microsoft design change with their square dialogs.

Hi,

Currently I'm working on a Windows 8, and the same problem appears. The borders of a modal box has the Windows 8 look, a non modal dialog has the old rounded corners as XP.

I would like to have the same behaviour as in the Alaska OWNERWIN sample. If you click on the 'Free' button, nothing changes on the taskbar, and the new dialog has the Windows 10 look. The dialog can be moved anywhere on the screen. If another application gets focus, and you click on the 'Ownerwin' icon on the taskbar, all the dialogs of the ownerwin sample comes to front.

both Button in that Sample use AppDesktop() as Parent -> Top-Window.
difference is

Code: Select all

oDlg:moveWithOwner := lMoveWithOwner 

in a MDI Application Child use

Code: Select all

oParent := SetAppWindow():drawingArea

like Sample c:\ALASKA\XPPW32\SOURCE\samples\basics\WINDOWS\Childwin.prg where Child Windows does have wrong (XP) visual Style.

Any change this can be done with eXPress++?

this work is for Alaska to fix it.
