Dear Support,

I have both CExtDateTimeWnd and CExtEdit controls on my CExtResizableDialog. They look kind of different, so I’d like to find out if there is a way to make them more similar.

- CExtDateTimeWnd has border, but CExtEdit doesn’t. How can I remove border from CExtDateTimeWnd or how can I add border to CExtEdit (ModifyStyle won’t work)?

- When mouse hovers over CExtEdit or it has the focus, a border appears of a different color. How can I remove that, or add it to CExtDateTimeWnd as well?

- One of my CExtEdit controls is multilined, so it has a scrollbar inside. How can the color of that scrollbar be similar to the color of CExtDateTimeWnd’s dropdown button? (This last one is not really that important).

Thank you in advance:
Chris.

The CExtEdit class has a border which is fully controlled by the paint manager. The date/time/duration controls are partially based on the paint manager. So we can regard your question as a request for making this more consistent.
