Hello Anderrson,

Thank you for your demo form. I have run it and seems to be all fine.

Does maybe this non-standard theme made a problems? Can you please test it again with Luna theme (blue in Windows XP).

I have made some tweaks. In two days I will send you new release to test it.

Thank you very much Boki
You are right, I have tested with another desk theme and it seems to be fine.

but, this is my favourite theme, and I think this form is not normal since another application seems fine with another combobox.

so Boki I will be very glad to try that tweaks

[Anderrson]

I am using XP pro

Extract and copy the 2 folders (OpusOS, VistaXP) to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

that two will appear in Display Properties in the Appearance Tab, to apply, just select it from Windows and buttons combobox

or you can just dblclick *.msstyles in that folders

Best Regards

Hello Andersson,

For some reason nothing appears in Windows and buttons combobox, even after double-clicking on theme and restarting windows.

Do I need something additional to install? I remember before that I was need to install something in order to enable third-party win themes.

Best regards and thanks

Hello Buki

I have no idea on what something to install to enable theme, but if you have TuneUp Utilities you can enable it with TuneUp Styler feature.

or may be you can Here

Hello Anderson,

Thank you for your tip about utility program. I was able to change theme.

I know now where is a problem, but I am not sure that I may fix it since drawing is different than for other controls.

I will try to do something.

Best regards

Update:

I have find some solution, but having problem when combo-box is refreshed. This is now a real puzzle

[Boki (Berg)]

Update: You may open NxEdit.pas and locate procedure TDropDownButton.Paint; procedure.

Add next code in top of it:

CODE

Canvas.Brush.Color := clWindow;
Canvas.FillRect(ClientRect);

[Anderrson]

Hello Boki


I have insert that code into TDropDownButton.Paint procedure.
now I think my CBox has better view then before

Best regards
