updated touchscreen number pad

[BruceN]

Ok.. it's beyond my meager abilities. I'm going to need some help with the [enter] button.

I'm attaching the images for it. If someone could give me a codeblock (and where/how it goes) for making it work, I'll add it in. Other possiblilty.. if easier I can post the whole thing for someone to work with.

thanks

Look at DC_RegionArray() for samples.

as Tom say i have made a Array of your Bitmap.
try it with DC_RegionArray()

Code: Select all

aRegion := { ;
             {38,0,113,1},;
             {37,1,114,2},;
             {35,2,116,3},;
             {34,3,117,4},;
             {33,4,118,6},;
             {32,6,119,48},;
             {6,48,119,49},;
             {5,49,119,50},;
             {4,50,119,51},;
             {3,51,119,52},;
             {2,52,119,53},;
             {1,53,119,55},;
             {0,55,119,66},;
             {0,66,74,67},;
             {77,66,119,67},;
             {0,67,36,68},;
             {37,67,74,68},;
             {77,67,119,68},;
             {0,68,35,69},;
             {37,68,74,69},;
             {77,68,119,69},;
             {0,69,34,70},;
             {36,69,74,70},;
             {77,69,119,70},;
             {0,70,33,71},;
             {36,70,74,71},;
             {77,70,119,71},;
             {0,71,31,72},;
             {35,71,74,72},;
             {77,71,119,72},;
             {0,72,29,73},;
             {35,72,74,73},;
             {77,72,119,73},;
             {0,73,28,74},;
             {34,73,74,74},;
             {77,73,119,74},;
             {0,74,25,75},;
             {77,74,119,75},;
             {0,75,23,76},;
             {77,75,119,76},;
             {0,76,23,77},;
             {76,76,119,77},;
             {0,77,25,78},;
             {34,77,119,78},;
             {0,78,27,79},;
             {34,78,119,79},;
             {0,79,29,80},;
             {35,79,119,80},;
             {0,80,31,81},;
             {35,80,119,81},;
             {0,81,32,82},;
             {36,81,119,82},;
             {0,82,34,83},;
             {36,82,119,83},;
             {0,83,35,84},;
             {37,83,119,84},;
             {0,84,36,85},;
             {37,84,119,85},;
             {0,85,119,94},;
             {1,94,118,96},;
             {2,96,117,97},;
             {3,97,116,98},;
             {5,98,114,99},;
             {6,99,113,100} }

it should look like this

ALMOST THERE....

I've done as much as I can. There's still a few small issues. If someone wants to chip in and do the remaining little things we'll have a nifty, modern looking touch keypad for everyone to use.

Remaining items:

1) Enter key shows funny... with double arrow. I don't see why. Images for it (keyret.bmp, keyretr.bmp) both look correct. It can't be displaying both images, as the word 'Enter' is in a slightly different position on the 2 images and not displayed that way. yet it shows a double arrow (image attached).

2) Enter key needs to be slightly taller. The image should be the right size, I think all that's needed is to adjust Auge's array.

3 ) Enter key (is this getting a little redundent?) doesn't flash (look like it's being pushed). I would think it should look just like the Esc key when pressed. This isn't super critical as most people would nwver notice it, but I'd liek this to be as perfect as possible.

Other than that... I think it's ready for everyone. The number pad I needed, the keypad I did for you guys (I'm not planning on using it).

Attached is the code and all the bitmaps.

thanks...

ok i "see" what you meen. it seems i include Coordinate for Arrow "inside" too. (black color)

so i have to manipulate Bitmap to have no Arrow while only "outside" Coordinate are need.

here new Coordinate

Code: Select all

aRegion := { ;
             {37,0,114,1},;
             {36,1,115,2},;
             {35,2,116,3},;
             {34,3,117,4},;
             {33,4,118,5},;
             {32,5,119,7},;
             {31,7,119,48},;
             {7,48,119,49},;
             {5,49,119,50},;
             {4,50,119,51},;
             {3,51,119,52},;
             {2,52,119,53},;
             {1,53,119,54},;
             {0,54,119,95},;
             {1,95,118,96},;
             {2,96,117,97},;
             {3,97,116,98},;
             {4,98,115,99},;
             {5,99,114,100} }

if still some Pixel missing, please send me a Black/White Bitmap to get sharp lines

[Auge_Ohr]

hi,

i have play with your Bitmap and now understand why you "need" Region.
your Bitmap does not have "transparency", it is "white" Background

i do no know how "transparency" work with DCPUSHBUTTON
(i´m not a Express++ User ) but Roger have a Ownerdraw
Version too.

i have made a small Demo with my Ownerdraw Class.
i have "convert" BMP into ICO and "fill" it with "tranparency"

p.s. use a XP Manifest with Ownerdraw ( need for visual Style )

[BruceN]

I've got it ALMOST perfect... only remaining issue is the 'flashing' (looking like it's being pushed) operation of the [enter] key. If I take out the static region clause it operates right, but the corner covers up the key next to it when pressed. If I leave the static clause in, it does nothing on the click and closes on the release.

If there's a simple way to fix that... (why does adding a static clause change the behavior of the button?) If not, it's livable that way ... most people would never notice it.

Everything is zipped up here for y'all.

Auge: thanks for your help.

As for the region array you created, I assume it is merely a set of coodinates, in pixels, of the end points of the line segments that define the region (with 0,0 at bottom left)? So {37,0,114,1} would be a line from 37,0 to 114,1. Am I right?

I looked at your icon stuff, but can't get it to compile. unresolved external (MyImageButton). I'm guessing that's a class you created yourself? If I copy your icons to the path you've hard coded, your EXE runs and looks good. I can see a lot of uses for that ability.

Is there a way to do the same thing in Express? Native xbase code is almost impossible for me to follow. (I have enough difficulty following Roger's express...which is MUCH more 'user friendly' than native xbase. )

thanks

i did made only 1 Array but you use 2 Bitmaps (normal, select) which are a little different

CreateRectRgn Function Parameter are for nLeftRect, nTopRect, nRightRect, nBottomRect

as i say use "transparncy" and you do not need "Region"

Yes shure ... i think it is C:\EXP19\Samples\Buttonxp\buttonxp.prg
