    Posted: 10 March 2008 at 5:54pm
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 );
