[Xerte] lazy question on drawRect

Thu Sep 30 23:51:22 BST 2010

Cool. I knew of arrow and face (I've used those to style buttons,
including the combobox button, which uses arrow for the downwards
pointing triangle). I've been looking for a list of the other
properties. Where did you find the other properties?

ooh, ooh, Mr. Cahtah, Mr.Cahtah!

Way better than drawRect.

Found a few others. 
Adding darkshadow has a nice effect.

//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("arrow", 0xFF0000);
engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("highlight", 0xFFFFFF);
engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("highlight3D", 0xFF0000);
//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("shadow", 0xFF99CC);
engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("darkshadow", 0xFF0000);
//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("scrollTrack", 0xCC6666);
//engine[cboxArray[i]].setStyleProperty("face", 0xFFCCCC);

Thanks Paul. Nice nugget.

ckbox.setStyleProperty('highlight', 0x00FF00);

ckbox.setStyleProperty('highlight3D', 0x00FF00);

I'm not sure of all the style property names, but the two above will
make at least part of the border of a checkbox green. I'm sure there are
some other style property names that will finish it off, if you can find
a list of property names somewhere.

Ok, I tried a dummy file and it looks like when I try to draw into an rs
(like a checkbox) the default colour is yellow and lineweight 1.

The rs has a drawRect function, so I guess that's why it will accept the
direction.

There is a setStyleProperty and updateStyleProperty in the rs.
Are those for addressing text styles only, or can I goose them to affect
the drawRect?

Clear()

Then lineStyle()

How do I change the colour of the outline of a code drawn artifact:

//engine[cboxArray[i]].beginFill(0xFF0000,100); //doesn't work
//engine[cboxArray[i]].lineStyle(3,0xFF0000,100); //doesn't work
engine[cboxArray[i]].drawRect(-3,-3,16,16);

Cheers,
Dave
