Hi,

I would like to know what I need to do in order to change the colors used within the Calendar Control. It is not very obvious by just reading the online documentation and the Demo does not touch on that subject.

Default colors are nice but users want the ability to change the colors displayed on thier calendars.

Any help will be apreciated.

Hi Rolando,

Look below for a few customization examples:


 GetPaintManager()->GetDayViewHeaderPart()->SetTextColo r(RGB(255, 155, 55));

 GetPaintManager()->GetDayViewHeaderPart()->SetBackgrou ndColor(RGB(5, 155, 5));

 

GetPaintManager()->m_clrFreeColor = RGB(55, 55, 155);

GetPaintManager()->m_clrBusyColor = RGB(255, 55, 155);

 

GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

Please see CXTPCalendarPaintManager class for more details.
Also you can create your own PaintManager class derived from the existing one and override some methods for customization.

We are also planning to make more flexible customization in future versions.

Hi,

Thanks for the code this has pointed me in the right direction!!

COLORREF clrBkg = pApp->GetProfileInt("Options", "BackgroundColor", RGB(255,244,188));
COLORREF clrWD = pApp->GetProfileInt("Options", "WorkDayColor", RGB(255, 255, 213));
// Change Color
 m_wndCalendar.GetPaintManager()->GetDayViewWorkCellPart() ->SetBackgroundColor(clrWD);  
 m_wndCalendar.GetPaintManager()->GetDayViewNonworkCellPar t()->SetBackgroundColor(clrBkg);

Thanks for your help.
