desktop icons - change grid offset ?
John,
I know what controls are. .... It has four, actually: minimise, maximise, control, and top-left-click menu. (-: The above show you know what controls are (at least to to some extent). But somehow you cannot grasp the idea that some controls are not readily recognisable as such ? It has four, actually: minimise, maximise, control, and top-left-click menu. (-: True. I just tried to keep it simple. Once again, I don't know what control you're referring to there Maybe the problem is with the name "control". How many controls do you see in the below picture - and I don't mean the ones in the caption bar of the window itself : http://zetcode.com/img/gui/winapi/statictext.png Would you be surprised if I told you there is one ? Yes, the "I know you told me ..." text is displayed by a control too. In this case the aptly named "Static control" ('cause it does not respond to keyboard, mouse or other input methods). In other words, not all "controls" can be manipulated by the mouse or keyboard (another example: a progress bar). And not all controls are readily recognisable as such. In the above case because a static control normally isn't given a border. In the case of the listview on the desktop because it has been changed to /not/ to clear its background (causing it to turn transparent) and is not given a border either. Does that clarify it a bit ?
