Hi,

I have an application which toggle the main menu strings between two different languages at runtime

when menu is in 'non-english' font the last main menu item caption
should be in English font with string "English" and vice-versa

in the event handler of the last menu item i have changed the entire menubar font by using

CMenu cmenu;

...
...

CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->GetMenuBar();

pMenuBar->LoadMenu(&cmenu);

...
...

XTPPaintManager()->SetCommandBarsFontIndirect(&lf);&a mp;a mp;a mp;a mp;n bsp;

XTPPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

but how can i change only the last menu item caption to a different font ?

thanks in advance

Hello,

Here sample:

class CXTPOffice2003ThemeEx : public CXTPOffice2003Theme
{
public:
    CXTPOffice2003ThemeEx()
    {

    }

    void RefreshMetrics()
    {
        CXTPOffice2003Theme::RefreshMetrics();

LOGFONT lf;
m_fontRegular.GetLogFont(&lf);

m_fontItalic.DeleteObject();
m_fontUnderline.DeleteObject();

lf.lfItalic = 1;
m_fontItalic.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

        lf.lfItalic = 0;
        lf.lfUnderline = 1;
        m_fontUnderline.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
    }

    CSize DrawControlPopupParent(CDC* pDC, CXTPControl* pButton, BOOL bDraw)
    {
        if (pButton->GetID() == ID_LANGUAGE_ENGILISH)
        {
           CXTPFontDC font(pDC, &m_fontItalic);
           return CXTPOffice2003Theme::DrawControlPopupParent(pDC, pButton, bDraw);
        }

        if (pButton->GetID() == ID_LANGUAGE_FRANCH)
        {
           CXTPFontDC font(pDC, &m_fontUnderline);
           return CXTPOffice2003Theme::DrawControlPopupParent(pDC, pButton, bDraw);
        }

return CXTPOffice2003Theme::DrawControlPopupParent(pDC, pButton, bDraw);

}

protected:
CFont m_fontItalic;
CFont m_fontUnderline;
};

usage:

CXTPPaintManager::SetCustomTheme(new CXTPOffice2003ThemeEx);

Hi,

[- Hearty Thanks -]

I got what i need by overriding DrawControlToolbarParent()

If i allow my application user to change the themes on the fly like Customthemes sample

the only way is to derive and override DrawControlToolbarParent() for all themes (ex CXTPOffice2003Theme,CXTPWhidbeyTheme etc) ?
