Hi,


I am using the CExtResizablePropertyPage to add resizing functionality to the property pages in my application.  The only problem is that the coloring on the property page becomes inconsistent, where the background and most controls get the correct color, but components like the text on group boxes do not.  Is there a way to disable the paint manager?  Or possibly another solution?


Any help would be appreciated,


Thank you.

We suggest you to use the CExtTabPageContainerWnd class rather than CExtResizablePropertySheet. It implements a tab control container window that is always painted according to the theme that is currently used. This class is available both in static and dynamic libraries.

Besides, we recommend you to use corresponding Prof-UIS classes for implementing the following controls: a check box (CExtCheckBox), radio button (CExtRadioButton), group box (CExtGroupBox), and static text (CExtLabel). Unlike those available in MFC, these classes are better consistent with the Office 2003/VS 2005 theme and include some additional features.

How do I create a modal dialog with OK, Cancel and Apply buttons using CExtTabPageContainerWnd?

It seems you need something like a property sheet except that the Prof-UIS tab control should be used instead of the standard one. Please download it from our website.
