CXTPTabControl not skinned

Hi Oleg,

I subclassed my CXTPTabControl from STATIC and set SS_NOTIFY style, but the tabcontrol isn't skinned with the matalic effect.
I skin my app in CMainFrame::OnCreate like below:
    XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("Normalitunes.ini"));
    XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeNativeWinXP);
    XTPPaintManager()->m_bFlatMenuBar = TRUE;
    XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions
        (xtpSkinApplyMetrics|xtpSkinApplyFrame|xtpSkinApplyColors/*|xtpSkinApplyMenus*/);

What did I wrong?

Hi Oleg,

I already set xtpTabAppearancePropertyPageFlat appearance to my tab control.
Just now, I set xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage appearance to my control, but this dont work, too.

Here is my code. Do you have an idea what could be wrong?

        CXTPClientRect rc(TabCtrl);
        TabCtrl->AdjustRect(FALSE, &rc);

        TabCtrl->ModifyStyle(0, WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|WS_TABSTOP);
        TabCtrl->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
        TabCtrl->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearancePropertyPageFlat );
        TabCtrl->SetAllowReorder(FALSE);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bHotTracking = FALSE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bBoldSelected = TRUE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bStaticFrame = FALSE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetPosition(xtpTabPositionTop);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcControlMargin = CRect(0,0,0,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcClientMargin = CRect(0,0,0,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcButtonMargin = CRect(5,4,5,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();
        TabCtrl->FindNavigateButton(xtpTabNavigateButtonLeft)->
                SetFlags((XTPTabNavigateButtonFlags)0);
        TabCtrl->FindNavigateButton(xtpTabNavigateButtonRight)->
                SetFlags((XTPTabNavigateButtonFlags)0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bDrawFocusRect=FALSE;
        TabCtrl->Reposition();

Hi Oleg,

also TabCtrl->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage ); dont set the metalic theme like the menubar or the statusbar. xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage and  xtpTabAppearancePropertyPageFlat seems to be different only by the flat state.

Have I misunderstood something?

Hi Oleg,

I dont know what still wrong? I set xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage appearance to tab control, but the tab doesn't has the matalic effect!

Can you help me with this, please!

CXTPClientRect rc(TabCtrl);
TabCtrl->AdjustRect(FALSE, &rc);
TabCtrl->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage);

Best Regards

Hi Oleg,

now the tab-buttons are skinned, but the background not yet:


The childwindow is derivated from CXTResizePropertyPage.


    CXTPTabControl* TabCtrl = (CXTPTabControl*)pTab;
    if(TabCtrl)
    {
        CXTPClientRect rc(TabCtrl);
        TabCtrl->AdjustRect(FALSE, &rc);

        TabCtrl->ModifyStyle(0, WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|WS_TABSTOP);
        TabCtrl->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
        TabCtrl->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage);
        TabCtrl->SetAllowReorder(FALSE);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetColor(xtpTabColorWinXP);
        TabCtrl->EnableTabThemeTexture(TabCtrl->GetSafeHwnd(), TRUE);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bHotTracking = FALSE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bBoldSelected = TRUE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bStaticFrame = FALSE;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetLayout(xtpTabLayoutAutoSize);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetPosition(xtpTabPositionTop);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcControlMargin = CRect(0,0,0,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcClientMargin = CRect(0,0,0,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_rcButtonMargin = CRect(5,4,5,0);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();
        TabCtrl->FindNavigateButton(xtpTabNavigateButtonLeft)->SetFlags((XTPTabNavigateButtonFlags)0);
        TabCtrl->FindNavigateButton(xtpTabNavigateButtonRight)->SetFlags((XTPTabNavigateButtonFlags)0);
    //    TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_clientFrame = (XTPTabClientFrame)1;
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->m_bDrawFocusRect=FALSE;
        TabCtrl->Reposition();
    }


Could you please help me?

Hi Oleg,

that has no effect on my childwindow (m_pageContacts derivated from CXTResizePropertyPage) background color!
        TabCtrl->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage);
        TabCtrl->GetPaintManager()->SetColor(xtpTabColorWinXP);
        TabCtrl->EnableTabThemeTexture(m_pageContacts.GetSafeHwnd(), TRUE);

Do you have an further idea what could be wrong? Is in childwindow something to set?

Hi Oleg,

thank you very much!
Now it works.
