hi,
we are very interested in the HexUniControls after we use the trial version.
Could somebody explain me in detail on how to activate the license. it's a big concern to us since we need release it together with our software.
Addtionaly, we get some problems on the image button control.
1. We try to set button backgroud transparent, means show the image & text only when display. We tried the given properties but doesn't work.
2. How to stretch button image.
3. How to let the button text over the button image. Now only have property to set image over text, that cause the text will be hidden.
Looking forward your reply.
Thanks
best regards

@merlinxu,
The license activation is quite simple; after the purchase you'll receive a code that you'll use to activate the library into your program code; you'll be free to distribute our .OCX with your compiled program without any costs.
>Addtionaly, we get some problems on the image button control.

In order to save memory this feature is not available
>2. How to stretch button image.
The button image actually is cropped, not stretched
>3. How to let the button text over the button image.
>Now only have property to set image over text, that cause the text will be hidden.
I'll check it, maybe you can send me a VB6 sample and I'll make the changes.
please write us a private email for details

hi Davide,
Thanks for you quick feedback.
We just use the sample in your installation.
Could you look into that?
regards
Merlin

Merlin,
the sample is a bit long, please let me know the button (in which form) you are trying to customize ;-) |

The first sample, any of the button.
The feature we want to confirm is:
1. set button back ground to transparency.
2. stretch the button image
3. let the button text over the button image.
Appricate your effort. |

Merlin,
1- as I told you, the button background cannot be set to transparent
2- why the button image should be stretched? Cannot you resize it before assigning it to the button; you'll save a lot of memory and the button will work faster
3- I'll check it |

hi Davide,
Thanks for you reply.
A question on deployment.
we deployment, need I install the control or just copy over the ocx/oca file and register it?
we encounter a error when just copy over the files and register. but works after installation.
any idea?

You need to check this page:
http://www.hexagora.com/HexUniControls/pre-req.htm
You need to copy the required dll files into the destination system, then the .ocx and register it.
Obviously the ocx won't work without activation.
Be sure to have administrative rights when installing; if you know IIS (Inno Setup) there is a sample installation into out package. |

Merlin,
the stretch image and the text over image features have been created. I'll release them very soon (two days) with the next version of Unicode Controls. |

| The stretch property is enabled automatically when the given image is bugger than the size of the button. |

hi Davide,
Is it possible that stretch the image even the image is smaller? Because in our project the buttons are generated dynamicly. Also the button transpancy feature, we realy need it also. I actually saw those properties but doesn't work.

merlin,
I'll never create a transparent button, you can use an image with a label over.
Stretching a small image into a bigger one is not a good idea.
