Problem getting themed buttons to look correct

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

   I have a dialog with a bunch of buttons on it.  Two of the buttons have member variables.  I cannot seem to get these two buttons to look the same as the other buttons that do not have member variables.

Here is a small snapshot of the buttons in question:

The button that is highlighted in orage and button with the bitmap (rightmost second row) are the two buttons with CXTButton member vars.

I have the following code in the dialog's OnInit() method:

XTThemeManager()->SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);
m_obtnCalendar.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_SEMIFLAT | BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT);
m_obtnQuote.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_SEMIFLAT | BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT);

Not too sure what's going on here.  I've tried several combinations of setting the individual button's theme, using different themes and I can't get them to look correct.  Any clues to what I am doing wrong?

	Hi, If you want them look like standard just use standard CButton class instead CXTButton...

	I made them regular CButton's and that solved part of the problem. The other problem is that I want to use a bitmap on one of the buttons. In order to do that I need to set the OwnerDraw property. Owner Draw TRUE: Owner Draw FALSE: What I'm looking for is the combination of the two ... where the button still has the XP theme and the bitmap on top of it. I have tried using CButton and CBitmapButton member vars and get the same result with both. With the CBitmapButton I am just using the following one liner in the OnInit(): m_obtnCalendar.LoadBitmaps(IDB_CALENDAR_BITMAP);

	m_wScanImport.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT); worked for me.

	Hi, Yes m_wScanImport.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT) have to work... Also if you want standard CButton with bitmap check CButton::SetBitmap method.

	I got a little side tracked last week but am back to this again ... so I swaped the CButton back in, changed the owner draw property to FALSE, and changed the init code to the following: HBITMAP hb = ::LoadBitmap(GetModuleHandle(_T("name.dll")), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_CALENDAR_BITMAP)); m_obtnCalendar.SetBitmap(hb); Now the output looks like: The button is there and the bitmap is being displayed but themes are once again not working with that button. Is there something I'm missing?

	Finally fixed the problem myself. I had to change the CButton back to a CXButton and added the following member variables: HMODULE m_module; HBITMAP m_hbitmap; CBitmap* m_opBitmap; CImageList m_oImageList; then modified changed some code in the OnInit method to look like the following: XTThemeManager()->SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003); m_module = GetModuleHandle(_T("dllName.dll")); m_hbitmap = ::LoadBitmap(m_module, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP)); m_oImageList.Create(16, 15, ILC_COLOR16, 1, 1); m_opBitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(m_hbitmap); m_oImageList.Add(m_opBitmap, RGB(0, 255, 0)); m_obtnCalendar.SetIcon(CSize(16, 15), m_oImageList.ExtractIcon(0)); m_obtnCalendar.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT);
