Description
Setting that controls the type of "brush" used for the background or primary gradient.
Applies to
DataWindows
Syntax
PowerBuilder dot notation:
dw_control.brushmode
Describe and Modify argument:
"DataWindow (brushmode = { integer } )"
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
integer |
The value to be assigned to the property: 0 -- Solid 1 -- HorizontalGradient 2 -- VerticalGradient 3 -- AngleGradient 4 -- ScaledAngleGradient 5 -- RadialGradient 6 -- Picture |
Usage
In the painter
Set the brushmode value on the Background tab of the Properties view.
If you save to an EMF or WMF, the properties on the Background tab are not saved with the DataWindow.
The following table explains the possible values for Brushmode:
|
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
0 - Solid |
The background is a solid color as selected |
|
1 - HorizontalGradient |
The color changes horizontally from the primary color (and transparency) to the secondary color (and transparency). The primary values are defined by the datawindow.color and datawindow.transparency, and the secondary values are defined by datawindow.gradient.color and datawindow.gradient.transparency. The gradient can be repeated using the datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode property. |
|
2 - VerticalGradient |
The color changes vertically from the background color (and transparency) to the secondary color (and transparency). The primary values are defined by the datawindow.color and datawindow.transparency, and the secondary values are defined by datawindow.gradient.color and datawindow.gradient.transparency. The gradient can be repeated using the datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode property. |
|
3 - AngleGradient |
The color changes at a specific angle off the horizontal from the background color (and transparency) to the secondary color (and transparency). The angle is specified in datawindow.gradient.angle. The primary values are defined by the datawindow.color and datawindow.transparency, and the secondary values are defined by datawindow.gradient.color and datawindow.gradient.transparency. The gradient can be repeated using the datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode property. |
|
4 - ScaledAngleGradient |
The color changes at an angle, which adjusts according to the changes in the aspect ratio of the DataWindow control. The starting angle is specified in datawindow.gradient.angle. The primary values are defined by the datawindow.color and datawindow.transparency, and the secondary values are defined by datawindow.gradient.color and datawindow.gradient.transparency. The gradient can be repeated using the datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode property. |
|
5 - RadialGradient |
The background color (and transparency) starts at the center and slow changes to the gradient color (and transparency) at the boundaries of the DataWindow. The primary values are defined by the datawindow.color and datawindow.transparency, and the secondary values are defined by datawindow.gradient.color and datawindow.gradient.transparency. |
|
6 - Picture |
A picture is used as the background. The image is specified in datawindow.picture.file. |
