  • SKINNING - ways to pass a value (text) to a skinning callback

    Dear all

    How can I pass a text to a common skinning callback without having to check what widget it has been?
    I would like to do it without using:
    - globals
    - WM_GetId();
    - <WIDGET>_GetUserData to get, for example, the index


    Thanks very much for support so far

  • Hi,

    There is no way to pass a string directly to a skinning routine. You can set a string to most widgets are receive this string by calling the GetText function of this widget.

    For example, set a string to a button with BUTTON_SetText() and receive it inside the skinning function with a call of BUTTON_GetText(). You can use the handle which is past to the skinning routine in the WIDGET_ITEM_DRAW_INFO structure, pDrawItemInfo->hWin. This is always the widget this skinning function belongs to.

    Regards
