I've got CXTPReportControls on several dialogs and all draw their border 3D sunken style instead of with the thin blue line border used for all of the built-in Windows controls (XP). Regardless of what border style I set in the RC (WS_BORDER, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, WS_EX_STATICEDGE), I'm still not getting the thin blue line style border.

What do I need to do to get the thin blue line border?

This seems to work, but IMHO, it is a bug that the border does not render to the active Windows theme by default.

Derive your CXTPReportControl like this:

class MyReportControl : public CXTPOfficeBorder<CXTPReportControl>

then in the constructor call:

XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme( xtpThemeNativeWinXP );

Actually that only sorta works. I'm getting spurrious dots being drawn in the NC area... Also the scroll bar is drawn inset from the edge...

Put in a support issue.
