I recently upgraded my free ProfUIS from 2.40 to 2.50

My application uses CExtStatusControlBar with a couple of CExtButton buttons.

1)

When I compile my application with the new version of Prof UIS and run the application, the buttons on the statusbar get a BOLD face font. When I click on a button the BOLD face font changes to a normal font. It’s a one time occurence.

When I reverted back to version 2.4 the problem was gone (normal font on the buttons)

2)

The same issue is present with the example application ProfUIS_Controls-n.exe, building with 2.50 the right most button in the statusbar gets a bold font, building with 2.40 the right most button gets a normal font.

Could you check if your sample exe’s built with 2.4 vs 2.5 show the same "feature".

I used VisualStudio 2003 to compile all samples and my application.

Thank you for the comments. Yes, we confirm this behavior. The cause is the status bar push button automatically becomes the default push button, which we draw using the bold font. You can workaround this problem by using this code in the CExtStatusBarButton class:

 class CExtStatusBarButton : public CExtButton
 {
 protected:
  virtual LRESULT WindowProc(    
   UINT uMsg,
   WPARAM wParam,
   LPARAM lParam
   )
  {
   if(  uMsg == BM_SETSTYLE 
    && wParam == BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON
    )
    return 0L;
   return CExtButton::WindowProc(uMsg, wParam, lParam);
  }
  virtual void PostNcDestroy()
  {
   delete this;
  }
 };
