Hello, just wondering if there was an easy/semi-easy way to draw the arrow in the sort column as a different color..

I noticed the CXTPPaintManager has a Triangle() method..

If this is what I need where would I get the Point coordinates from?

If there is some simple function call or variable somewhere that allows me to change the arrow color that I overlooked.. please tell me

Thanks.

(Just started using XTP... very very nice

)

Hi,

Sorry, missed your question.

Yes, this arrow is drawn with this method. If you look inside, you'll see that the triangle is drawn using regular user's Windows colors: color variables are initialized from COLOR_3DHIGHLIGHT and COLOR_3DSHADOW. (details there: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724371.aspx - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724371.aspx )

However, same colors are used to draw background and a foreground of the column header. So far, to change only triangle's color, you have to set another color values inside the method:


// Set up pens to use for drawing the triangle
CPen penLight(PS_SOLID, 1, m_clrControlLightLight);
CPen penShadow(PS_SOLID, 1, m_clrControlDark);

Then rebuild the library and your application.
