Hi,

I want to add a black border to a flat style CXTButton within a dialog box. I would be very grateful for details on how to do this.

I have subclassed the OK button of the dialog within OnInitDialog(). The result is that the OK button is white and flat (which is what I want) but it needs a border :-

m_ok_button.SubclassDlgItem(IDOK, this);
m_ok_button.SetColorFace(RGB(255, 255, 255) ); //white
m_ok_button.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_XPFLAT);

And the m_ok_button is declared as :-

CXTButton   m_ok_button

Thanks for any help.

I would like to do this also. It would allow me to standardize on CXTButton everywhere instead of CButton and let me do the things that should have been simple in the first place - like setting the face color.

But it seems like CXTButton isn't a superset of CButton in looks.  Because these are the only possible styles(?)

const UINT BS_XT_FLAT        &n bsp;     = 0x0001; // Draws a flat button.
const UINT BS_XT_SEMIFLAT       &nbs p;  = 0x0002; // Draws a semi-flat button.
const UINT BS_XT_TWOROWS         ;   = 0x0004; // Draws images and text are centered.
