I had thought I would be able to use a color gradient for the task panel with 10.1, but it doesn't appear to be working. Drop the following code into your Task Panel VB6 sample (at the end of the Form_Load event), and you'll see what I mean:

   With wndTaskPanel
        .VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeToolboxWhidbey
        .Behaviour = xtpTaskPanelBehaviourExplorer
        .HotTrackStyle = xtpTaskPanelHighlightItem
        .ItemLayout = xtpTaskItemLayoutImagesWithText
        .SelectItemOnFocus = True
        .SingleSelection = True
        .ColorSet.BackgroundDark = 15001834
        .ColorSet.BackgroundLight = &H80000016
        .ColorSet.HighlightBorderBottomRight = 6956042
        .ColorSet.HighlightBorderTopLeft = 6956042
        .ColorSet.HighlightHot = 13811126
        .ColorSet.HighlightPressed = 11899525
        .ColorSet.HighlightSelected = 14210516
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClient = 15001834
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClientBorder = 13160660
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClientLink = 0
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClientLinkHot = 16711680
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClientLinkSelected = 0
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupClientText = 0
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupCaptionDark = &H80000014
        .ColorSet.NormalGroupCaptionLight = &H80000016
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClient = 15001834
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClientBorder = 13160660
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClientLink = 0
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClientLinkHot = 16711680
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClientLinkSelected = 0
        .ColorSet.SpecialGroupClientText = 0
    End With

Although the Backcolor works correctly, the client areas do not "blend" in with the background. Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Hi,

there was secret constant added:

.ColorSet.NormalGroupClient = &H1FFFFFFF

Any other "secrets" we should know about?

like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return.

LOL.

I had thought to respond with the same comment, but I really like Oleg's "understated" approach!

Cheers, Dan
