Hi Oleg,

I have gone through the steps mentioned in following discussion forum to set statusbar theme.

StatusBar Theme?

https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7361&KW=CXTPOffice2003Theme

My Code: (In .CPP file)

class CStatusBarTheme : public CXTPOffice2003Theme
{
   void FillStatusBar(CDC* pDC,CXTPStatusBar* pBar)
   {
      COLORREF m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow; //m_clrPopupBarBorder
      m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = NULL;
      switch (XTPColorManager()->GetCurrentSystemTheme())
      {
      case xtpSystemThemeBlue:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(64, 134, 228);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(136, 181, 237);
         break;
      case xtpSystemThemeOlive:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(142, 152, 102);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(181, 187, 159);

         break;
      case xtpSystemThemeSilver:
         //m_clrPopupBarBorder = RGB(166, 167, 193);
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = RGB(226, 226, 225);
         break;
      default:
         m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow =      XTPColorManager()->grcDockBar.clrDark;
         break;
      }
      pDC->FillSolidRect(CXTPClientRect(pBar), m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow /*grcDockBar.clrDark*/);
   }
};

Call from my function after creating statusbar is as follows:

XTPPaintManager()->SetCustomTheme(new CStatusBarTheme());

But FillStatusBar Never gets called :(

What is the solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Did you replace CStatusBar to CXTPStausBar in members of CMainFrame ?

incidentally...I use a custom type of status bar in my application for some controls.

If I want to match the colors used in these components to the colors used by the XTP status bar, how could I do that. Is there a way to get the colors XTP uses to draw the status bar, even if themes are used?

Hi Oleg,

My class CMyStatusBar is derived from CXTPStatusBar.
Previously I am deriving it from CXTStatusBar.

What might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Oleg

I take that this means that there is no way to "officially" get the status bar colors, except using the hard coded RGB values in the source code? And when CJ later changes the theme, I need to adjust and recompile my application...

Hi,

For getting color of the control you can use:

COLORREF m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow;
m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = NULL;
m_clrPopupBarGripperShadow = XTPColorManager()->grcDockBar.clrDark;
