I wanted to customize my control and noticed that CXTPReportRow class has not virtual GetItemMetrics method.

Original GetITemMetrics method has lines which overwrite my custom color settings.

.....

if (GetControl()->HasFocus())

{

pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlightText;

pItemMetrics->clrBackground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlight;

}

else if (!pPaintManager->m_bHideSelection)

{

pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrBtnText;

pItemMetrics->clrBackground = pPaintManager->m_clrBtnFace;

}

....

I wanted to to remove lines which set text color and made my own row class. But because GetItemMetrics is not virtual my code is never called (only at that moment I've noticed that it is not virtual)

Could you give my some ideas how to overcome this problem (leave text color of the selected item lets say green)? Change library code? overwrite ondrawcaption of the reportrecorditem?

Hi,

You can make CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics() as virtual in your toolkit sources and rebuild it. This change will be included in the next release.
