The S.C.A. Micro Templates include three templates:
- Browse Header Sort and Reverse Sort
- Auto Next Tab
- XP Controls Enable
XP Controls Enable
Windows XP introduced a new look of some common controls, like Buttons, Check Boxes and Option Boxes. This template just adds a precompiled RES file to the project. This RES file contains a XML manifest file wich tells Windows XP that your application can use the new style controls. With this manifest, if you run your application on a computer with Windows XP, your Clarion application will look like this:
| Running on Windows not XP |
Running on Windows XP |
 |
 |
Warnings:
- This new look will only work if you run the application in a computer running Windows XP. You won't have any problem if you run the application on any other Windows version, but you'll get the traditional look.
- This feature won't work with controls with the "transparent" attribute. This can be a problem if you are using background images in your windows.
- If the Clarion button has an Icon, it won't get the new look. You should use Icetips MagicButtons for this.
- Clarion's message function may show some white space at the end of the message text. You'll need to use Klarisoft Thread Safe Message Box ($10.) or Capesoft Message Box ($49.) to solve this.
- Depending on how is your shortcut to Clarion configured, you won't see the new look if you run your application using the Compile&Run button of the Clarion IDE. In this case, run the application using the Windows Explorer or try disabling the compatibilty options of your Clarion shortcut.
