How to set statusbar theme?

Hi Oleg,

I have gone through the steps mentioned in following discussion forum to set statusbar theme.

StatusBar Theme?

https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7361&KW=CXTPOffice2003Theme

My Code: (In .CPP file)

class CStatusBarTheme : public CXTPOffice2003Theme
{
   void FillStatusBar(CDC* pDC,CXTPStatusBar* pBar)
   {
      COLORREF m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow; //m_clrPopupBarBorder
      m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = NULL;
      switch (XTPColorManager()->GetCurrentSystemTheme())
      {   
      case xtpSystemThemeBlue:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(64, 134, 228);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(136, 181, 237);
         break;
      case xtpSystemThemeOlive:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(142, 152, 102);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(181, 187, 159);
        
         break;
      case xtpSystemThemeSilver:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(166, 167, 193);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(226, 226, 225);
         break;
      default:
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow =      XTPColorManager()->grcDockBar.clrDark;
         break;
      }     
      pDC->FillSolidRect(CXTPClientRect(pBar), m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow /*grcDockBar.clrDark*/);
   }
};

Call from my function after creating statusbar is as follows:

XTPPaintManager()->SetCustomTheme(new CStatusBarTheme());

But FillStatusBar Never gets called :(

What is the solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

incidentally...I use a custom type of status bar in my application for some controls.

If I want to match the colors used in these components to the colors used by the XTP status bar, how could I do that. Is there a way to get the colors XTP uses to draw the status bar, even if themes are used?

Hi Oleg,

My class CMyStatusBar is derived from CXTPStatusBar.
Previously I am deriving it from CXTStatusBar.

What might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

For getting color of the control you can use:

COLORREF m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow;
m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = NULL;
m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = XTPColorManager()->grcDockBar.clrDark;
