AR Background ActiveX Control

AR Background ActiveX Control 1.02

Using this control, you will be able to tile or center a picture in the background of any form, just as you can do in the Windows desktop. You can also set a gradient instead of a picture.

THIS CONTROL HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IMPROVED BY THE AR Form Extender Control.

History:

05.04.98, Version 1.0 released.
11.05.98, Version 1.01: now you can also have a gradient as the background of your form.
25.05.98, Version 1.02: corrected a bug that made the control not update the picture properly when this was set at run-time.

Properties:

BackgroundType. ShowPicture (0) or ShowGradient (1).
GradientEndColor. Ending color for the gradient.
GradientIniColor. Initial color for the gradient.
GradientOrientation. Top to Bottom (1), Left to Right (2), Bottom to Top (3) or Right to Left (4).
Picture. This is the picture that you want to use as the background.
Position. Tile (0) or Center (1).

Methods:

About. Shows the about box.
Refresh. This refreshes the background.

VERY IMPORTANT: Set the AutoRedraw property of the form in which you place this control to 'True'.

That's it.
