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

I want the background to be drawn with a gradient instead of fixed color.

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 |

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

Set in our derive constructor
m_sizeIcon.cx = 32; m_sizeIcon.cy = 32; Jimmy PS: Look into the source XTCaption.cpp |

m_wndCaption.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003); has no effect at all on the background color. thanks jimmy for the icon size tip. |

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 splitterm_wndSplitter2.SetRowInfo (0, 28, 0); return TRUE;} |
