here is changes for ArrayCtrl supporting Style stuff.
this obsoletes 2 functions, EvenRowColor(), OddRowColor()

maybe this can go upstream.

a problem arises, TheIDE would need some fixes, since it is using the EvenRowColor etc.. things that are in Style now, so there one would need to use own Style per control..

EDIT:
some packages use the EvenRowColor/OddRowColor thing..

Quote:


C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\CtrlLib\AKeys.cpp(112): keys.NoHorzGrid().NoCursor();//.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\Goto.cpp(157): //list.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\OutputMode.cpp(113): //package.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\SelectPkg.cpp(316): //alist.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\Setup.cpp(409): hlt.hlstyle.NoHorzGrid().SetLineCy(EditField::GetStdHeight() + 2);//.EvenRowColor()
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\Thisbacks.cpp(50): //list.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\ide\Virtuals.cpp(104): //list.EvenRowColor();
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\RichEdit\StyleKeys.cpp(32): list.NoHorzGrid().NoCursor();//.EvenRowColor()
C:\uppsvn\uppsrc\usvn\SvnSync.cpp(26): list.NoCursor();//.EvenRowColor();

is there plans to make ArrayCtrl styleable?
i can provide fixes for the ide and stuff..
mainly because the .EvenRowColor() method would become obsolete.
thus the ide needs to have a local ArrayCtrl::Style instance around in some places..

Definitely not at the price of removing important methods Wink

dont want to argue with you about this issue. i only propose.
EvenRowColor and OddRowColor could still remain as statics in terms of definition of the colors, but their place to store it would change (into Style instance).

i mean sth like this:
ArrayCtrl.h
	static inline void EvenRowColor(Color& paper, Color& ink) { paper = Blend(SColorMark, SColorPaper, 220); ink = SColorText; }
	static inline void OddRowColor(Color& paper, Color& ink)  { paper = SColorInfo; ink = SColorText; }

somewhere where EvenRowColor needed
ArrayCtrl::Style st; //.h

//.cpp, ctor
	st = ArrayCtrl::StyleDefault();
	ArrayCtrl::EvenRowColor(st.evenpaper, st.evenink);
	list.SetStyle(st);

which is more code ofcorse but renders ArrayCtrl as stylable where needed.

You misunderstand the true meaning of those methods.

No.

Well, actually, perhaps colors itself should. But methods have different meaning.

Hint: Methods activate even-odd coloring, which is not active by default.

that's more clear now..
attached is a version that leaves all the api as is. the ArrayCtrl::Style has paper, ink and gridcolor now. which can be overridden by the local evenink, evenpaper, etc.. if not Null..
otherwise style stuff is used.

generally, the question is how to handle Style.

on one hand, it's great to have a one-colorset-fits-all-controls possibility (deriving stuff directly from SColor, which is still used in a lot of Ctrl's) and only specifying the 'additional extensions' in Style.

OTOH it is also good to let the colors used in a Ctrl be entirely overridable in Style, i.e like paper and ink and the like. they are initialized from the common chameleon color set but are changeable anytime at runtime by editing the global Style for that Ctrl family (or a separate Style instance for some Ctrl instances only).

up to now, the Upp Ctrl's are a mix of these 2 ways. maybe generalizing would help the usability for newcomers.
(want to deal with appearance -> take a look at Style).
