Skinnable gadgets?

| Is it possible to skin gadgets such as scrollbars of text areas? By this I mean, can you skin a scroll bar with an image? How do I create a brush palette to be sent to the window scrollbar? |
| ||
| Not doable. Doing this requires you redraw your gadget manually. B+ can't in its current state capture the redraw event. So BooHoo to you.. and me :( I was writting a gdi library to do this all, but without proper access to the underworkings, it is all but useless. |
| ||
| I see the same questions again and again.. not that I blame new users for that.. but wouldn't it be a wise idea to make a sticky topic in this section with some FAQ and FGA? :) Something simple, not much text, just something like this: Q: How do I skin my gadgets A: You can't Q: How do I prevent a canvas from scaling when resizing A: SetGadgetLayout Q: How do I make my own gadgets A: See the tutorials for 'Your own gadgets' Q: How do I change the icon of my exe .. etc. etc. |

| skn - thanks anyway. Person - New users? :P I've been here longer than I can show my posts for. I was here Before blitzbasic.com, so kindly f#ck yourself. :) However, if you weren't insinuating me as one, well go f#ck yourself even kinder! Okay, I retract my statement kind of, it's 3am. |

| It was generally meant for new users who ask the same questions all over again. I could've posted that one in 'General Discussion' ofcourse, then it would be a generic question. So I didn't do it there, I did it here. Maybe that was wrong.. dunno. So, don't take it personal :) I'm however still supporting the idea ..(nothing wrong with the idea, isn't it?) So, forget that I put it in this topic, imagine it being in 'General Discussion'. |

| Don't mind me, I just needed to blow off some steam ;) .. On a forum.. How lame am I :D |
| ||
| "Q: How do I change the icon of my exe .. etc. etc" Well that one still illudes me. Reshacker doesnt let me add a new icon to the program when i use BlitzPlus so im still not sure exactly what can be done if anything. |
| ||
| Add a new resource group called "ICON" in ResHack. That'll do it. Tracer |
| ||
| But that doesn't work for me. I go to "Add New Resorce", select an icon, name it ICON (the first text field is filled in) and it says ca't add the icon. |
| ||
| Makes me wonder why someone hasn't written a GUI extension for B+ and sold it. I'd buy it if it had nice buttons, menus, trackbars, etc. Just for the time saving. |
