Change appearance of bitmap button

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

Our company has been using Xtreme ToolkitPro v11.2.2 for 5 yrs to provide skin for our VC++ SDI application. We created bitmap buttons using the class CXTButton as follows:

/*********************************************************/ 
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_RECORD, m_btRecord);
// In ViewClass::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) 
m_btRecord.SetBitmap( CSize(10,10), IDB_RECORD );//  IDB_RECORD is the bitmap resource
m_btRecord.SetBorderGap( 7 );
m_btRecord.SetXButtonStyle( m_btRecord.GetXButtonStyle() & ~BS_XT_SHOWFOCUS );
m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);
/********************************************************/
Now we want to change the style of the button from flat to pushbutton style as follows:
                 Current CXTButton                                     Button style required

It has to look like a normal cbutton with an image on it. We tried many methods but failed. Can anyone please please suggest a method to do this ?

Thanks.....

	Guess you need change m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003); to WinXP style. check Buttons sample for list of themes.

	The issue was solved. Thanks for the quick reply........... For those with similar issue, i have given my code below..... /*RESOURCE.RC / PUSHBUTTON "",IDC_RECORD,58,43,15,14 ,WS_GROUP / VIEWCLASS.H / CXTButton m_btRecord; / VIEWCLASS.CPP / / In ViewClass::::OnInitDialog( WPARAM, LPARAM ) / m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeDefault); m_btRecord.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT); / In ViewClass::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) */ m_btRecord.SetBitmap( CSize(10,10), IDB_RECORD_NORMAL ); m_btRecord.SetBorderGap( 6 ); Hope this would help someone who is new to VC++ like me.
