Getting Theme Gradiant Colors

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

   Hi,

I am moving an existing MFC app to XTP and I have run into one issue I haven't seen addressed in the samples.

I have windows that I draw and manage myself that I wish to have the same gradient that is used on command bars on. 

Thus I would like to get access to the colors used to draw the gradiants on the command bars, or better yet a function that will just draw that background for me.

I saw the various Fill methods in the CXTPPaintManager, but I need one that I can hand a basic CWnd to. Or I need to get the colors to draw it myself, but those colors need to change when the theme changes.

Any suggestions??
