Hello dear support team,

I am trying to paint an owner rectangle with g_PaintManager that should look like an CExtButton on mouse hower mode in Office2003 style.

I found the static method CExtPaintManager::stat_PaintDotNet3dRect() but it doesn’t work if I try something like that:

CDC _dc;

CRect _rect; m_myWindowToPaint.GetClientRect(&_rect);

g_PaintManager->stat_PaintDotNet3dRect( _dc, _rect, RGB(x1,y1,z1), RGB(x2,y2,z2) );

Is there any simple solution to draw Office2003 like owner rectangles with g_PaintManager?

PS: Here you can see an image in order to show what I mean.

Thanks, Kenan.

First of all, the URL in your message displays some text page in German instead of a JPEG image. We guess you need to paint the button background. This can be done by invoking the g_PainManager->PaintPushButton() API. You will need to create and fill the CExtPaintManager::PAINTPUSHBUTTONDATA object. You can take a look how it is done in the Prof-UIS sources.

Thanks! That works very fine!

Here is the source code for people with same problem:

CPaintDC dc(this);
CRect _rcClient;
CDC _dc;

// The rect Area to paint out like CExtButton background
myWindowToPaint.GetClientRect(_rcClient);
 
CExtPaintManager::PAINTPUSHBUTTONDATA _ppbd(
    this,   // CObject * pHelperSrc 
    TRUE,     // bHorz 
    rcClient, // rectClient
    (LPCTSTR)"", // sText
    NULL,     // pIcon
    TRUE,     // bFlat
    TRUE,     // bHover
    FALSE,    // bPushed
    FALSE,    // bIndeterminate
    TRUE,     // bEnabled
    FALSE,    // bDrawBorder
    FALSE,    // bDrawFocusRect
    TRUE,     // bDefaultPushButton
    0,        // nAlign
    NULL,     // hFont
    FALSE,    // bDropDown
    0,        // nHelperSysCmdID
    FALSE     // bTransparent
    );
 
g_PaintManager->PaintPushButton(_dc, _ppbd);
