 Topic: Cool menus without Command BarsPosted: 04 February 2006 at 5:20am |

Hi I have a dialog based application based on CXTResizeDialog. I also use the taskpanel control on one side. I want to use the flat "cool" menus. Is it possible from a dialog based application? Does there have to be some connection with the command bars architecture? Regards Douglas |

OK, so I derive from CXTPDialogBase<CXTResizDialog> instead of CXTResizeDialog. Next problem: I override the WM_CTL_COLOR message and draw the dialog background in a different color, However, the gripper on the bottom right border is painted in dialog gray. Is it possible to customize this color.

Unfortnutelly it is standard MS control, that don't send WM_CTL_COLOR to fill its background. Solution is 1. create dialog with xtResizeNoSizeIcon parameter 2. Manually add some custom gripper class derived from CWnd and draw it as gripper. 3. Add it: / Create the size icon if it already doesn't exist. m_scSizeIcon.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBS_SIZEGRIP, m_scSizeIcon.SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTop, 0, 0, 0, 0, SetResize(IDC_SIZEICON, SZ_REPOS(1)); |

Another issue, is it possible to use the docking panes system in a dialog based application? It appears not, as InstalldockingPanes () need a CFrameWnd derived class as a parameter. Is there another way? |

yes, it is not possible.... :( You can try CFrameWnd + CFormView instead of CDialog to allow ToolBars/Docking Panes. |
