Funny behavior when i change a FlatEdit control's BackColor property to vbButtonFace in vb6, the property value lost with closing the owner form. Any other value is keeping fine. Windows 7 32bit - Hungarian Codejock Suite Controls 17.x

Hello, I can't reproduce this with Suite Controls v17.2 and v17.3 (win7 x86). What version do you use ? Maybe some addition settings? Regads, Oleksandr Lebed |

Hi! I'm using the flatedit in VB6. This issue appeared from 17.0. in developing time. Before versions was fine. Try to reproduce this way: Open a VB6 Form. Put on a FlatEdit Control. Set it's backColor to system 'ButtonFace' value. Run the project. ---> The Flatedit Backcolor remains the original "Window Background" If you just close the form in developing time and open again the "ButtonFace" value is changing back same way. hexxa.

 I thought that you describe crash when set myFlatEdit.BackColor = vbButtonFace "the property value lost with closing the owner form". ok, I will check... |

Hello hexxa, I found reason of this behaviour. On creating control (or other calling DoPropExchange method) If color of FlatEdit is the same as ambient, then it will be changed to default ("Window Background" &H80000005& for FlatEdit). But if you set color of form to some other e.g. "Desktop" (&H80000001&), then you can set "Button Face" (&H8000000F&). This was introduced sometime between versions 15.3.1 and 16.2.4 in 2013y, when changed using custom colors for some ActiveX controls. The same behaviour has ComboBox, ListBox, TreeView, HexEdit and FlatEdit. Regards, Oleksandr Lebed |

Hi, I decide to fix this behavior. If you have possibilities to set that back color in runtime why you can't do this in design time. This relates also to ForeColor of those controls (ComboBox, ListBox, TreeView, HexEdit and FlatEdit). Regards, Oleksandr Lebed |
