I want to control the theme on a CExtPageContainerWnd window. I also want to be able to control the theme/style of the embedded CExtShortcutListWnd objects. Is there an example of this?

Thanks in advance,

Don Metzler

The CExtPageContainerWnd and CExtShortcutListWnd classes are fully painted with paint managers so you cannot just specify some background colors for these controls. You can however repaint the background by overriding the CExtShortcutListWnd::OnShortcutListEraseEntire() virtual method.

1) We would like the header of a page to reflect the current theme.

2) Can the background color of a page be changed? I have tried overriding the OnCtlColor() method in a subclassed CExtShortcutListWnd object, but this never gets called when the page is displayed.

The CExtShortcutListWnd has a simple appearance that is not based on any paint manager. But it’s not difficult to implement some more themed painting for this control. Please let us know any details. From your point of view, how it should look like under each theme? We are interested in your point of view especially with regard to Office 2007 themes.
