This is how it looks now, and any theme I apply to it remains the same, just the font size, font color and background color is changing.
 
 
here is the initialization code
 

BOOL CMainFrame::InitializeCaptionBar()

{

if (!m_wndCaption.Create(&m_wndSplitter2, _T("System Overview"), NULL,

WS_VISIBLE|SS_CENTER|SS_CENTERIMAGE, CRect(0,0,0,0), m_wndSplitter2.IdFromRowCol(0, 0)))

{

TRACE0("Failed to caption window.\n");

return FALSE;

}

HICON hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_SYSTEM_OVERVIEW);

m_wndCaption.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);

// set the caption colors.

m_wndCaption.SetCaptionColors (GetXtremeColor(COLOR_3DFACE),

GetXtremeColor(COLOR_3DSHADOW), GetXtremeColor(COLOR_WINDOW) );

LOGFONT lf;

XTAuxData().fontBold.GetLogFont(&lf);

lf.lfHeight = 25;

m_fontCaption.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

// set the font and initial icon.

m_wndCaption.ModifyCaptionStyle(0,

&m_fontCaption, NULL, hIcon);

// Sizing for splitter

m_wndSplitter2.SetRowInfo (0, 28, 0);

return TRUE;

}

m_wndCaption.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);  has no effect at all on the background color.

thanks jimmy for the icon size tip.]]> Mon, 30 Jul 2007 08:54:36 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7661&PID=24755&title=how-to-skin-cxtcaption#24755 <![CDATA[how to skin CXTCaption ? : Set in our derive constructor...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7661&PID=24751&title=how-to-skin-cxtcaption#24751 Author: jimmy

Set in our derive constructor
    m_sizeIcon.cx = 32;
    m_sizeIcon.cy = 32;

PS: Look into the source XTCaption.cpp

Hi,
 
You can call  m_wndCaption.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003); to use gradient colors.

also how can I change the caption icon to make it bigger ?
I use this line to extract an icon from an imagelist with large icons

m_wndCaption.UpdateCaption(m_xRes.LoadString(IDS_SYS_TITLE_OS), m_ImageLarge.ExtractIcon(1));

but the icons are drawn to small on the caption bar

I want the background to be drawn with a gradient instead of fixed color.]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 07:47:15 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7661&PID=24691&title=how-to-skin-cxtcaption#24691 <![CDATA[how to skin CXTCaption ? : Hello, You can derive from CXTCaption...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7661&PID=24687&title=how-to-skin-cxtcaption#24687 Author: Oleg

Hello,
You can derive from CXTCaption and override its DrawCaptionBack method.
 
How do you want to skin it ?
