Hi. I am a newbie with Firefly. I created a form, then drew a tabcontrol on it with 9 tabs. I then created a form for the first tab the same size as the first form. On this form I drew a picture the same size as the form. I then assigned a bitmap to the picture in order to provide a background for the controls that I will draw on the picture.
When I compile and run the project, the picture with the bitmap does not appear. If I then click on tab 2, then on tab 1, the bitmap appears.
How do I show the picture and bitmap on startup ?
I tried using BackBitmap property on the forms, but it does not show when the project is compiled. I attempted to use FF_TabControl_SetSelectedTab and FF_TabControl_SetTabFocus, but I couldn't Figure where to place the code.
Hi Robert,
I just tried using the BackBitmap property on the Tab Control sample project and it worked without any problems.
Are you using the latest FireFly version ? (Version 1.10).
:oops:
I say, "When in doubt, start over."
:oops:
So I cleaned out my project directory and very carefully reconstructed my forms. Voila! Everything was fine!
When learning a new tool, I have to learn to creep before I can walk. Thanks much Paul. I will probably have a lot more questions as I move along.
That's good news! Happy to hear that it is working okay now.
Any questions - ask away. Myself and many people here are always ready to help.
