Hello,

Does anyone know how to access CXTPTabPaintManager within an SDI application?

Also, is there only one instance of CXTPTabPaintManager per application, or each CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer has its own?

Here is what I I tried in absence of a better idea (I know, it's a really stupid thing to do but I was desperate):
 - walking through all panes
 - checking if their containers are CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer(s)
 - for each CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer found, access its CXTPTabPaintManager through GetPaintManager()

This is how the code looks like:

  CXTPDockingPaneInfoList& lst = _paneManager.GetPaneList(); // CXTPDockingPaneManager _paneManager;
  POSITION pos = lst.GetHeadPosition();
  while (pos)
  {
    CXTPDockingPane* pane = (CXTPDockingPane*) lst.GetNext(pos);
    CXTPDockingPaneBase* container = pane->GetContainer();
    if (!container || container->GetType() != xtpPaneTypeTabbedContainer)
      continue;
    CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer* tabs = static_cast<CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer*>(container );
    CXTPTabPaintManager* tabPaintManager = tabs->GetPaintManager();
    tabPaintManager->GetColorSet()->m_clrHeaderFace.clrDar k = RGB(255,0,0);
    tabPaintManager->GetColorSet()->m_clrHeaderFace.clrLig ht = RGB(0,0,255);
  }

Unfortunately, CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer::GetPaintManager() is a protected method so the above code fails to compile.

I'm sure there is a simple way to do the same thing.

Thanks in advance for any help!

This is really embarrassing... :)
