[MaxGUI] Missing RemovePanelColor Command

Hi,

Trying to tie up a few loose ends for Max'dGUI this weekend, and have noticed that there isn't a command to remove a panel color, so that it returns back to the default.

On Windows, using SetGadgetAlpha() breaks the redrawing of panels so I can't set than to 0, and I need to be able to get panels to become the same colour as the window etc. again.

I remember posting a similar bug report about the lack of a command to remove a background image from a pixmap which was very quickly fixed (thanks), so please could this be implemented as well.

Thanks

I'd like to see this feature as well.

This topic already celebrated its first birthday...

..was this feature implemented in the meanwhile? I couldn't find it, please tell me if it exists. If it doesn't I'd like to bring this feature request up again.

Nope.


Noted, although it may be quite difficult to implement. I'll have a look if I get some free time over the summer.

Well, here in Brum summer is long gone... dunno where you are!! :-p

Perhaps the easiest method might be to remember the original colour.. and set it back to that? (although getting the value of the original colour might be interesting...)

Tell me about it... :-(


Precisely, but also, panels without a colour set should be effectively transparent and show the parent's background (which may or may not be a fixed colour).

Although to be honest, they are only my first thoughts... Haven't really looked into it yet - it might be really easy...

I may be misunderstanding what you want but, on Win32 at least, can't you simply use GetSysColor(COLOR_3DFACE) for this?

I've used it for disabled colour picker gadgets, which are just coloured panels, and it works a treat.
