Is there a chance that you could implement docking window button style like on this delphi component?

Hi,

You question is related to the style of UI. It is not related to button item in the caption of resizable bar only. Prof-UIS supports three UI styles: Office 2000/VJ++6.0, Office XP/ VS.NET, Office 2003. These styles are similar to styles of Microsoft products. We did not code Windows XP style because:

  • nobody have requested this feature

  • unlike MS Office, the Windows XP style does not have a look of expensive design (this is my point of view)
To code this style we need a new class derived from CExtPaintManager with a set of overriden methods responsible for the painting of all controls.

Best regards,
Sergiy.
