Hello,
I am trying to utilize CExtPropertyGridCtrl in a dialog, i think i have done everything refering to CompoundProperties sample. Everthing works fine, except one thing : the scrollbar and combo boxes are gray in color...
In my application i am using
g_PaintManager.InstallPaintManager( new CExtPaintManagerXP );
If i change it to
g_PaintManager.InstallPaintManager( new CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R2_Obsidian );
there happens a very slight change, not exactly the same as the CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R2_Obsidian choice like in your samples.
My other controlbar displays the changes correctly...
Can you find a reason for me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Would you send some screenshots so we can see what is wrong exactly? At the moment we can only guess that the problem is with Windows XP themes. It seems you have not activated themes in your application. To do this, just add the manifest resource to your project. The FAQ How to enable XP visual themes for my application? may be helpful with this.

Thank you very much, the problem has been solved by implementing the manifest file.
Keep up the good work.
