Hi,
 
STDCOLOR_BTNFACE will change color of all backgrounds of Commandbars but also many other control which uses BTNFACE for their colors. But there is a sample which you can use to test what is changed after you set another color:
 
C:\Program Files\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v.....\Samples\CommandBars\VB\MDISample

ActiveX v13.0.
 
I need to set the backcolor of the client area of a commandbar. I have a task panel with some VB6 controls (sorry I have to do it this way for now ;-)
 
In XP the backcolors and the controls were fine (all 'brown'). But now I need to run in Win 7 as well and the backcolors are different in Win 7.  I'm using
 
cbMain.GlobalSettings.ColorManager.Color(STDCOLOR_GRADIENTACTIVECAPTION) to get the backcolor I want. I can modify the TaskPanel backcolor using
 
tp.ColorSet.NormalGroupClient = my color.
 
But I cannot see where to set the CB backcolor. The TaskPanel does not 'cover' all of the client area and I do not want it to. I want the TP backcolor and the CB backcolor to match.
 
Help?
 
ok, maybe it's SetSpecialColor??? Like 'Me.cbMain.SetSpecialColor STDCOLOR_WINDOW, vbRed'??
I'm trying to find the right const to use to set the client area to a color so that it looks the same in XP, Win7 classic, WIn7 themes, etc.
Does anyone know which XTPColorManagerColor value I use???
Thanks!
