SetTextColor doesn’t work correctly for me - it doesn’t chage the caption’s color. The styles works fine - I’d like to know how to set caption color of all group boxes in my app to have the same style (FLAT STYLE, black Caption color).

this is code that doesn’t work for me     

m_cUsrGB.SetTextColor(RGB (100,10,0), true); - doesn`t work
m_cUsrGB.SetStyle(CExtGroupBox::e_style_t::STYLE_FLAT); - works fine

I use latest prof-uis

Thank you for reporting the bug. Here is the bug fix. Please update the following two methods and recompile the library.

ExtGroupBox.cpp file:

COLORREF CExtGroupBox::OnQueryTextColor(
 bool bEnabled // = true
 ) const
{
 ASSERT_VALID( this );
 COLORREF clrText = GetTextColor( bEnabled );
 return clrText;
}

bool CExtPaintManager::PaintGroupBoxLabel(
 CDC & dc,
 __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR strText,
 COLORREF clrText,
 HFONT hFont,
 DWORD dwDrawTextFlags,
 bool bEnabled,
 const RECT & rcText,
 CObject * pHelperSrc,
 LPARAM lParam // = 0L
 )
{
 ASSERT_VALID( this );
 ASSERT( dc.GetSafeHdc() != NULL );
 lParam;
 
CWnd * pWnd =
  DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(
   CWnd,
   pHelperSrc
   );
 ASSERT( pWnd != NULL );
 ASSERT_VALID( pWnd );
 
HGDIOBJ hOldFont = NULL;
 if( hFont != NULL )
  hOldFont = ::SelectObject( dc, (HGDIOBJ)hFont );

 if(  (! g_PaintManager.m_UxTheme.IsControlsThemed()) 
  || clrText != COLORREF(-1L)
  )

     false,
     false,
     false,
     pHelperSrc
     );
   if( clrText == COLORREF(-1L) )
    clrText =
     GetColor(
      bEnabled
       ? COLOR_BTNTEXT
       : COLOR_3DSHADOW,

  }  
  COLORREF clrOldText = dc.SetTextColor( clrText );
  CRect rc( rcText );

    );
   g_PaintManager.m_UxTheme.CloseThemeData();
  }
