Hi,

Please have a look at this screenshot:

http://www.bostream.nu/krisse/wizard.gif - http://www.bostream.nu/krisse/wizard.gif

I have CXTResizePropertySheet-derived wizard class with CXTResizePropertyPage-derived pages. There seem to be two problems with this.

1) The static controls are not painted correctly. I tried setting the transparent property, but it did not help. Nor did the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style.

2) When resizing, the wizard buttons do not react.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to reproduce it but failed - work as expected. Check that you call all base methods if you override CXTResizePropertySheet.

No, this is indeed a drawing bug ;) ... or perhaps I have missed something.

CPropertySheet + PSH_WIZARD97 style. That simply won't get painted correctly. When a traditional property sheet is created, the property pages are painted in a brighter color than the dialog. That is correct. In wizard mode however, the pages should be painted in the same color as the parent dialog. I managed to get the same background color by overrideing the OnPaint method:

void CReservationPatientPage::OnPaint()

{

CPaintDC dc(this);

CRect r;

GetClientRect(&r);

CXTMemDC memDC(&dc, r);

CPropertyPage::DefWindowProc(WM_PAINT, (WPARAM)memDC.m_hDC, 0);

}

That works for the background, but not for the static controls (as can be seen in the screenshot above). Overriding OnCtlColor will not help as it is not being called. I have no more ideas.

Drawing bug in the Skin Framework?

I actually found ONE post about this CPropertyPage issue on the net:

http://groups.google.se/group/microsoft.public.vc.language/browse_thread/thread/1a087c929313cdf4/a62feb0f75d0d95b?lnk=st&q=CtlColor+CPropertyPage&rnum=1&hl=sv#a62feb0f75d0d95b - http://groups.google.se/group/microsoft.public.vc.language/browse_thread/thread/1a087c929313cdf4/a62feb0f75d0d95b?lnk=st&q=CtlColor+CPropertyPage&rnum=1&hl=sv#a62feb0f75d0d95b

So, this is probably not a bug in the Skin Framework. But I bet Oleg knows a workaround! :D

Any ideas?

Hello,

As I wrote I can't reprodce it. I need sample project from you to check what you do wrong :) Attach it in issue tack and I will point what you can fix.

Take a look at my sample:

http://www.bostream.nu/krisse/wizard_paint_problem.zip - http://www.bostream.nu/krisse/wizard_paint_problem.zip

Just run the app (make sure the skins are placed in \Styles) and then close it. The wizard pops up. None of the pages are painted correctly.

Thanks!

Hallo

I have a very similar problem and it does not appear to be easy to fix. I implemeted some derived dialogs from CXTResizeDialog (previously they were derived from CDialog). Resizing works a treat, but my dialogs have a 'custom' background which I display in

OnEraseBkgnd

however now all my static controls appear wrong. I used to override OnCtlColor to set a NULL brush and SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT) for static controls and the 'background' used to be visible, now I simply get it filled with a default colour.

What should I do to get the background to be visible through the static controls?

Thanks

Anton

Hello,

To prevent flickers Resize dialog add WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS styles, but it become cause of your problem.

To fix it, just add SetFlag(xtResizeNoClipChildren); in constructor of your dialog.

Thank you
