DrawThemeModelessDialogFrame

NEW WITH THE APPEARANCE MANAGER

Draws a modeless dialog box frame consistent with the current theme.

pascal OSStatus DrawThemeModelessDialogFrame (
                     const Rect *inRect, 
                     ThemeDrawState inState);

inRect

On input, a pointer to a rectangle.

inState

A value specifying the state in which the modeless dialog box frame is to be drawn; see "Appearance-Compliant Draw State Constants". The frame can only be drawn as active or inactive; passing kThemeStatePressed will result in an error being returned.

function result

A result code; see "Result Codes".

DISCUSSION

The DrawThemeModelessDialogFrame function draws a modeless dialog box frame, like the one drawn by the Dialog Manager. This function may be used to make a custom modeless dialog box Appearance-compliant.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Make sure Appearance Manager 1.0.1 is present before calling the DrawThemeModelessDialogFrame function. See "Appearance Manager Gestalt Selector Constants" for details on how to determine if the Appearance Manager is present and what its version is, if so.
