Topic: Styles

Is it normal when using "styles" that not everything is "translated" to the installed style? See screenshot. In this case a popup screen is not in the installed style?

Re: Styles

Hello domebil, thanks for your quick reaction. The problem affects all styles provided in MVD 6.5. In the screenshot I used the SapphireKamri-style witch I included in this reply.

Re: Styles

Strange. I made a quick testprogramm in MVD 6.5 because the original project was composed in MVD 4.5 and later "importerd" to MVD 6.5. But as you can see the result is the same. Style is not complete.

Can someone from DriveSoft or anybode else explain what's the problem?

Re: Styles

It's strange that no one from DriveSoft can or will give a reaction on my problem. What's going on. Only willing volunteers (Derek, Ewagner etc.) are active on the forum.

Re: Styles

Hi Kees,
Are you using Windows 10?
I ask out of curiosity as I use a much older version of Windows (XP) and there are a number of objects where the style is inconsistent or not working.
If you are on Windows 10 and still see a difference, perhaps download the (free) Bitmap Style Designer from Embarcadero and write your own .vsf file and see if that corrects the problem.
Derek.

Re: Styles

Hi Derek, tkanks again for your reaction. Yes, I use Windows 10 ans I will try your suggestion.

Re: Styles

Hi Derek,
I wanted to download Bitmap Style Designer from Embarcadero but I couldn't find a download link.
Do you have a download link that you can share please?

God... please help me become the person my dog thinks I am.

Re: Styles

Hi Adam,
As I don't have the requisite version of Windows, I'm not able to say with 100% certainty but I believe the Bitmap Style Designer is a tool that is included with, among others, the Community Edition of Delphi (free) that can be downloaded from https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/starter
There's a docwiki that steps you through what needs to be done
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudi … e_Designer
Once saved, you should be able to copy your .vsf file into the 'styles' folder within MVD 6.5.  It then becomes available to select from the 'styles' drop-down when you're building your application.
Sorry about all the caveats but, as I say, I'm not able to prove it for myself because I'm using an old version of Windows.
Derek.

Re: Styles

Thanks a lot Derek. Your kind explanation is appreciated.
I thought it was a stand alone app.

Re: Styles

Hi Adam,
That's what I thought when I was reading about it - guess it's more of a 'bolt on' but it would be neat if it were stand-alone.
Derek.

Re: Styles

Hi Derek. I tried to use the Bitmap Style Designer, but it is much to complicated for me. So here stops a solution for my problem with the styles. In general, it seems that development of MVD has come to an end and that the developers are no longer concerned about bug fixes, questions from users or further development of the program. Dmitry is silent. After the last update (styles and bug fixes) I thought of buying a "life time license", but I don't do that anymore.

Re: Styles

Thanks Domebil, but no succes...

Re: Styles

for your style problem is windows 10, you can't do anything and not the program

Domebil

Re: Styles

You mean that Windows 10 is the reason of the style problem?

Re: Styles

yes
surely in the future there will be more and more compatibility both by Bitmap Style Designer and by windows
