Hello,

There is no buildin method. But you can always override paint manager and its DrawControlToolbarParent method and fill contol.

Hello

We could draw borders around the button in the Toolbar, using the following code:

CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

CXTPToolBar* pMYTOOLBAR=pCommandBars->GetToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME);

int i=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetCount();

CXTPControl* pControl=pMYTOOLBAR->GetControls()->GetAt(1); //Note: here 1 should be the Button Id;

CRect rc;

rc=pControl->GetRect();

CDC* pDC = pMYTOOLBAR->GetDC();

pControl->GetPaintManager()->Draw3dRect(pDC,rc,0,0);

But with this we are able to draw border to the button and on the mouse move over the Toolbar the button is getting refreshed and Border is not persisting.

Can you suggest on this or any other work around to implement this.

thanks

Try CustomThemes sample - it show how use custom paint managers. Check how it works, check DrawRectangle methods.
