Someone Help Me Out Here

[Craig Scarborough]

I noticed when using Firefly there are a few controls I've never heard of before (FireTextBox, FireLines, FireLink, etc.).  Where I find information on how to use them - and why would I use them instead of the standard Windows TextBox (for instance?).

Thank you!

Those controls are custom controls that I wrote specifically for FireFly users. I don't have any specific documentation for them because for the most part they are pretty straight forward to use.

FireTextBox - can do all the things that a regular textbox can do as well as handle masked editing for numeric, dates, currency, etc. In addition, it has a "Modern" setting that turns the textbox into a much cooler looking textbox that makes your application feel much more modern day.

FireLines - just a simple control that allows you create lines, boxes, circles, etc.

FireLink - control that simulates a url link type of control. When the button is clicked on you put code in the BN_CLICKED handler to do whatever you need done.

FireImage - display more types of images than possible using normal image/picture control: png, gif, jpg, wmf, etc.

FireAniGif - be able to display an animated gif image.

Thanks, Paul!  Interesting - I think I can find a really good use for the FireLink control!
