Borders...

   Hi,

I'm using a task panel inside a docking pane. If I don't specify a border it looks rubbish as the task panel's group captions are wider than the pane's caption.

If I put in WS_BORDER it looks okish but the border is black. My app uses the Office 2007 blue skin so this doesn't look brilliant.

What's the correct approach to this? I realise this is a skin issue as well as a pane issue but the first question would be to find out what the correct procedure is for a nice pane client window first. Any solution needs to follow the overall theme for the app.

Phil.
