ASHMONTHCAL control enhancement: you can now set various color attributes for the control. To begin, you must first create the control with the MBF2_NOTHEME bit set; otherwise, colors are controlled by the Windows theme. Then, after creating the control, set individual color attributes using the same general technique as for setting date range and day states, i.e. via a control string sent in the ctext$ parameter with the cstate parameter set to MBST_TEXTONLY:
xcall AUI, AUI_CONTROL, CTLOP_CHG, ctlid, ctext$, MBST_TEXTONLY
where ctext$ should set to the an attribute name string followed by a colon followed by hex representation for the blue, green and red color values, e.g.
AttributeID:&hbbggrr
The available attributes (not case sensitive) for which colors can be set are as follows:
AttributeID |
Description |
SETCOLOR_BACKGROUND |
Background (area outside the calendars but inside the control borders) |
SETCOLOR_MONTHBK |
Background for the calendar(s) |
SETCOLOR_TEXT |
Color of the text within a month (days) |
SETCOLOR_TITLEBK |
Background of the title area |
SETCOLOR_TITLETEXT |
Title text color |
SETCOLOR_HDRTRAILINGTEXT |
Text color for the display header day and trailing day text (leading and trailing days from previous and following months) |
Example
ctext$ = "SETCOLOR_MONTHBK:&heecc88"
xcall AUI, AUI_CONTROL, CTLOP_CHG, ctlid, ctext$, MBST_TEXTONLY
