Topic: CXTPPropertyGridPaintManager background color

Hi,

when I call ResetContent() on an XTPPropertyGrid, the "grid view" area fill with a white background color.

Even when I call SetCustomColors, and also set the metrix of the CXTPPropertyGridPaintManager instance and the color-related members of the color manager to other colors.

If there is at least one element in the list (property grid) the custom colors are applied.

How do I ensure that the background of the grid is the same when there is no entry in the grid?

The code is very confusing, combining color members in the paint manager, a color metrics structure and even sending WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC to the parent of the grid if the member variable m_bTransparent (???) is set, or the member variable m_clrFace of the paint manager equals GetXtremeColor(COLOR_3DFACE). What do you want to achieve with this.

Useless to say that neither in your code nor in your "documentation" is anything mentioned about this.

Hello,

Thanks, we agree this bug.

Please make following changes in void CXTPPropertyGridView::OnPaint() replace

CWnd::DefWindowProc(WM_PAINT, (WPARAM)buffer.m_hDC, 0);

if (GetCount())
{
CWnd::DefWindowProc(WM_PAINT, (WPARAM)buffer.m_hDC, 0);
}
