Hi All,

I'm experimenting very unusual behaviours when working with buttons and picturebuttons. 

a) Sometimes (pretty often) shortcuts aren't shown

b) Initial window state. Edit mask + 2 cb_ + 2 pb_

(In this example, shortcuts aren't shown, as told on previous items)

- Type something in the EditMask. All buttons change their colors to white (command buttons all white and picture buttons with a white rectangle). Now, shortcuts are allways shown.

- Tab among controls. All buttons are reseted to the original back color and all behaviour restart to "normal" (delete the number typed in the em_ and type other and the buttons never change again and shortcuts are shown).

Attached is the app to reproduce this case. PB 2019 R2 2328.

What am I missing ? 

Regards,

Hi Julián ;

  This certainly looks like a bug but only when using the "Flat Style" property of the CommandButton control. If you remove that setting, the CB behaviour works as expected. I tested this on PB2019 build 2170 and also on PB 2017 R3 build 1915 and its the same story.

  Please open a support ticket for this issue.

Regards ... Chris

By default Windows 10 doesn't show the shortcut underline. Picture buttons are likely a custom control under the covers so it doesn't depend on Windows to show or not show.

Hi Roland,

Thanks for your answer.

Honestly I didn't know about this behaviour of Windows 10.

Still I have two questions (a) What about the white color ? (b) Shouldn't this behaviour discrepancy between command buttons and picture buttons be fixed ?

Are you seeing this problem with UI Themes turned on or off?  If it is turned on, which theme template are you using?

Hi Armeen,

UI Themes turned off. See the attached example app on the original post.
