Color of popup

[MickJagger]

Hello,

the function MessagePopup from the User Interface Library has the background selected in the windows settings of the screen. How can I determine this color to use it for other purposes?

Hello

If you need to customize the appearence of your popup panel, you can create your own panel and install it as a popup by using the InstallPopup() function. You can configure the font settings on the default popup box, but not its color. You can use the installpop like so:

panel1=LoadPanel(0,"1.uir",PANEL1);
InstallPopup(panel1);
GetUserEvent(1,&panelID,&controlID);
RemovePopup(1);

Hope this helps

Instead, if you want to know which color is the system popup background, you can use

GetWindowsColor (SYS_BTNFACE, &color);

I forgot to say that this function is in the Programmer's Toolbox that comes with CVI (cvidir\toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.fp)

The popup panel is the windows color because it has the panel attribute ATTR_CONFORM_TO_SYSTEM set. You can make any panel that color by setting the same attribute. You can then get the color by getting the attribute ATTR_BACKCOLOR of the panel.
