hi folks

FileSel / FileList is not Style complient, so when changing the
global params SColorFace(), SColorText() etc. at runtime, the first settings remain..

normally, after a SColor* change, i do

//for all relevant UI parts that depend on global GUI style i do, (here only TabBar shown)
	{
		//TABBAR STYLE
		TabCtrl::Style& st = TabBar::StyleDefault().Write();
		st = st.Standard();
		
	}
//after recalculating default style infos
	RefreshLayoutDeep();

this works pretty fine for most controls,
well except for FileSel and FileList for now.

any idea how to change the visual formatting of FileList / FileSel on the fly?

Actually, I have to admit the we gave up at that point. "Live" style changes would require too much work for too little _practical_ benefit.

my app unfortunately needs to change the appearance at runtime. (day / night view, it's a audio control app, working both backstage with dark light and also outdoors..)

but the problem was solved when i inspected the sources and properly adjusted the

Quote:

SColorHighlightText_Write(White());

because FileList recalculates stuff based on a bool dark flag, then using hightlight stuff..

nevertheless, the described method above works for me pretty fine.
together with setting global colors prior..i might post a topic on that later to indicate it complete.

the results are pretty nice though Smile

thanks to 'porting and overriding' the Ctrls.iml as well.
