Hi,

Check source code of Source\TaskPanel\XTPTaskPanelPaintManager.cpp

you need create class dervide from one of CXTPTaskPanelPaintManager class override RefreshMetrics and set your colors.

ok, I created class derived from CXTPTaskPanelPaintManage, override FillTaskPanel method (for example). How can I set now my custom paint manager to my Task panel control?

Thanks you. This answer was helpful for me. But I have on trouble: once I created CXTPTaskPanelPaintManage object I cant delete it in my destructor.
I mean I create this object on ctor:
m_taskPanelPaintManager = new CTaskPanelPaintManager();
But if I try to free memory in destructor:
if(m_taskPanelPaintManager != NULL)
delete m_taskPanelPaintManager;
the "Access vialation" exception is appeared.
So, my understanding is that I dont need to free this object manually because it will be released automatically with task panel object. Is it correct?
this is a little example illustrated may trouble with releasing memory after using CXTPTaskPanelPaintManage object uploads/20080714_110315_PaintManagerTes.zip - uploads/20080714_110315_PaintManagerTes.zip
