Hi All,

I am using CXTTreeCtrl and i want to change the background color of the whole tree ctrl(not only the selected items) and also the text color(when tree item is selected or unselected both cases).

Please help me out, i was unable to find any such api in CXTTreeCtrl class.

Thanx

Aamir

There are some overrides you can use to specify a text colour ... GetTextColor I think which passes in an HTREEITEM so you can decide what it should be.

As for tree background colour, I think there is one for that as well.

Hello,

You can use the following base class members to set and get text and background colors for the tree control:

COLORREF CTreeCtrl::SetBkColor( COLORREF clr );
COLORREF CTreeCtrl::GetBkColor( ) const;
COLORREF CTreeCtrl::SetTextColor( COLORREF clr );
COLORREF CTreeCtrl::GetTextColor( ) const;

Example:

// change text color to white and background to dark blue
pTree->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 255, 255));
ASSERT(pTree->GetTextColor() == RGB(255, 255, 255));
pTree->SetBkColor(RGB(0, 0, 128));
ASSERT(pTree->GetBkColor() == RGB(0, 0, 255));

// force repaint immediately
pTree->Invalidate();

Hope this helps.
