Change display properties programatically 3

[Docpro777]

Do any of you know how one might change display properties programatically, without affecting other windows' windows? Caption Font, color of title bar, etc.

Thought it might be interesting to play around with such (non-critical apps, etc.)

Thanks in advance,

Philip

Caption:

* form
Thisform.caption = "Hello"

* vfp app
_VFP.Caption = "Hello"

* label
THISFORM.lblName.caption = "Hello"

Color:
? getColor() to show the values or...
thisform.BackColor = getcolor()

* Fonts
thisform.label1.FontBold = .t.
thisform.label1.FontName = "Arial"

For font, you can also use the ? GETFONT() just like the colors.

There are more, but this should get you started.

Jim (and others) I'm familiar with most of the above...

But to change the color of the form(s) TITLE BAR, CAPTION COLOR, etc.

...This is my curiosity.

Thanks,

Phil,
Just be aware that both of Brian's links are to change the System colors, so it will affect ALL the applications currently running! This is usually not a good idea, unless you really have complete control of how the users configure their systems - otherwise you could make things quite un-useable!
