Remove border/shadow of Fl_Choice.H widget

[Daniel G.]

Hi,

can you please help me out, I fail to get rid of the border / shadow of a FL_Choice widget. Can you hint me how to do it / where to find the appropiate documentation? 

For buttons etc. the same thing works by manipulating the box.

Thanks,
Daniel

The Fl_Choice box is presently hardcoded in the 1st statement of its draw() member function which reads:

  Fl_Boxtype btype = Fl::scheme() ? FL_UP_BOX           // non-default uses up box
                                  : FL_DOWN_BOX;        // default scheme uses down box

To bypass that, you could do this:

- define a class for your custom Fl_Choice object(s) derived from Fl_Choice

- orerride the void draw() member function of this class with a copy of Fl_Choice::draw()

to be found in file src/Fl_Choice.cxx

- alter the 1st statement of your custom draw() function, possibly as follows:

  Fl_Boxtype btype = FL_NO_BOX;
