WS_CLIPCHILDREN question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a special CFrameWnd with a CXTPButton placed at the upper-right corner (a close button). My problem is that I want to fill the main window with a gradient (as seen below), but not over my button. I have set WS_CLIPCHILDREN style, so the button area is indeed left alone. However, the button itself is not painted until I hover it. Why?

void CMainFrame::OnPaint()

{
    CClientDC dc(this);
    CXTPClientRect rect(this);
    XTPDrawHelpers()->GradientFill(&dc, rect, RGB(192, 192, 192), RGB(255, 255, 255), FALSE);
}
