Take a look at the source files XTPTaskPanelPaintManager.h and XTPTaskPanelPaintManager.cpp to see how the existing taskpanel themes - e.g. CXTPTaskPanelOffice2003Theme - are derived from CXTPTaskPanelPaintManager, there are only a handful of methods that need to be implemented. I combined behaviours from the Office 2003 and Whidbey themes in a new class of my own which I derived from CXTPTaskPanelPaintManager.

To use the new theme, use the SetCustomTheme() methods of the taskpanel instance rather than SetTheme().

Hope that helps.

Roger

I'm in the process of trying to do the same thing. Would you be able to share some details of what is involved? I'm not experienced in MFC at all.

Answering my own request but what the heck - I've looked through the source code of the library and it's actually a lot easier to get to grips with than I expected. Actually very well designed.

I have my custom theme up and running perfectly now.

Hi,

I'd like to create a CXTPTaskPanel theme, which is similar to Whidbey but has small changes like group highlights on mouse-over (like the Office2003 theme). Could someone just give me a quick nudge in the right direction? I am new to Xtreme Toolkit but am a very experienced C++/MFC developer, I just need a hint to get me looking at the right class(es) to inherit from etc.

Thanks in advance,

Roger
