I wish it were that simple in C#.  We had to write some extra code for our app to show the background.]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 11:36:01 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7611&PID=48907&title=background-image-in-skinned-tab-control#48907 <![CDATA[background image in Skinned tab control : Hi I changed over one of our...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7611&PID=24552&title=background-image-in-skinned-tab-control#24552 Author: adrien

Hi
 
I changed over one of our dialogs from our own tab control dialog class to a CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage implementation.
 
now it shows the proper background image (i.e. brushed metal in iTunes skin) rather than the button face color of a normal dialog background.

hi
 
how can one get the background image to show through for a tab control?
 
We have our own tab control class that we can add panes to using a dialog resource.  Since it uses code based on CDialog to build the pane, it shows the background colour of the pane as being the button face color.
 
however, due to background images, this means we get a weird border round the pane, and it doesn't show the correct colour.  I've tried overriding OnCtlColor, but since the background is an image, I'm picking I can't get an HBRUSH to return.
 
I also tried making the dialog resource transparent, but that didn't do anything (possibly MFC ignores it?).
 
Also, in some schemas (like the iTunes one), the metrics are different (i.e iTunes adds a 5px top line to the background image).  Is there an API we can use to get these offsets so we can offset the pane?
 
Or am I wasting my time with our own tab control class, and I should just use a CodeJock one?  We've got a lot of legacy code to port if I can't use our old one...
 
Anyone done this before?

Adrien
