[Mono-dev] Patches for mono-winforms

[Steven Boswell II]

Ah...without EnableVisualStyles(), an indeterminate checkbox is a _grey_ check mark in .NET under MS Windows.
How about if I redo my change to draw the checkmark in grey?  Would you accept that patch?

Do you mean Application.EnableVisualStyles()?  Our application calls that in its Main() method.

I know I wasn't seeing the indeterminate checkbox when running Mono under Linux, which is why I thought to attempt this change in the first place.  Are you saying the indeterminate checkbox looks like the checked checkbox when Application.EnableVisualStyles() isn't called?


I use Mono under Linux to write code that's shipped running .NET under MS Windows, but Mono lets me use a development environment (Fedora Core 16) that doesn't drive me up the wall.  So my experience with Mono is somewhat limited to that.

Please note that this is controlled by Application.EnableVisualThemes.

Mono mimics the Win32 Classic look that the .NET Framework produces when 
you do not call EnableVisualThemes.  (Note that if you created a project 
in VS or something, this call was automatically added in your Program.cs.)

When EnableVisualThemes is called, the rendering should be controlled by 
the OS, so you will see the filled square on Windows 7, but XP is 
probably different.

I think Visual Styles work when Mono runs on Windows.  There were some 
attempts to write it for GNOME and maybe Mac, but they were never completed.
