i enabled office 2007 blue style of skin framework on my app.

but i also wanna set background of dialog on it.

but almost of the standard controls can not be set as transparent.

only the static control can use OnCtlColor method to set transparency.

 

HBRUSH CTestDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
 HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
 if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC && pWnd->IsWindowEnabled())
 {
  pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
  return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH); 
  }
 return hbr;
}

So, how can I set other controls to transparent, such as check box, radio, scrool bar and edit box.

 

refer the following pic

 

 

 

 

 

thanks in advance.

 

 HBRUSH hbr = CPropertyPage::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
  if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_STATIC && pWnd->IsWindowEnabled())
  {
   pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
   return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(NULL_BRUSH);
   }
  return hbr;

 

I sure it will not work even without skinframework.

 

try following. Load this bitmap and create brush from bitmap (m_brush)

 

from OnCtlColor:

 

if (hWnd != m_hWnd)
 {
  CXTPWindowRect rcPaint(hWnd);
  CXTPWindowRect rcBrush(m_hWnd);
  ::SetBrushOrgEx(hDC, rcBrush.left - rcPaint.left, rcBrush.top - rcPaint.top, NULL);

  ::SetBkMode(hDC, TRANSPARENT);
  ::SetTextColor(hDC, GetColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT));
 }

 return m_brush;

but i am not sure what i have done is right, because i still can not set the controls as transparent as your advice.

 

HBRUSH COptionsPage::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
 HBRUSH hbr = CPropertyPage::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
 HDC hDC = GetDC()->m_hDC;
 HWND hWnd = pWnd->GetSafeHwnd();

 switch(nCtlColor)
 {
 case CTLCOLOR_BTN:
 case CTLCOLOR_STATIC:
 case CTLCOLOR_EDIT:
 case CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX:

   CBrush *oldbrush;
   pDC->SetBrushOrg(0,0);
   oldbrush=(CBrush *)pDC->SelectObject(&pbitmap);
   hbr = (HBRUSH) oldbrush;
 

 if (hWnd != m_hWnd)
  {
   CXTPWindowRect rcPaint(hWnd);
   CXTPWindowRect rcBrush(m_hWnd);
   ::SetBrushOrgEx(hDC,  rcPaint.left-rcBrush.left,  rcPaint.top-rcBrush.top, NULL);
   ::SetBkMode(hDC, TRANSPARENT);
   ::SetTextColor(hDC, GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT));//   GetColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT));
  }

  pbitmap.DeleteObject();

  return hbr;

  break;
 default:
  hbr = CPropertyPage::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
  break; 
 }
}

 

 

so, the scroll bar's backgroud is office 2007 skin.

some part of static is white, some part is office 2007 skin.

check box's bk is office 2007 skin, even the edit box has black frame.

 

so, how to do next?

 

thanks a lot.

 

Attach project to debug it.

 

line

HDC hDC = GetDC()->m_hDC;
looks very wrong.

 

 

these also:

  oldbrush=(CBrush *)pDC->SelectObject(&pbitmap);

pbitmap.DeleteObject();
