Hi,

i want to allow the user to change the style (maybe from CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R3_LunaBlue to CExtPaintManagerNativeXP). The menu, toolbars, buttons etc. will be changed by the paintmanager, but not the tabwnd (TabPageContainerWnd and TabMdiWnd) see the screenshots:

1. CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R3_LunaBlue and OneNoteWnd

2. CExtPaintManagerNativeXP and the wrong TabWnd-style (OneNoteWnd any more)

3. CExtPaintManagerNativeXP and how it should be (standard TabWnd)

Is there a posiblility to change the TabWnd according to the style?

Thanks

Ulrich

The paint manager is used in most of Prof-UIS classes. But some classes like one note tab window and tab page container window are theme independent.

Than i make it by my own. Please tell me how i can get the selected style (RUNTIME_CLASS) from the paintmanager.

Thanks

Ulrich

You should get a pointer to the currently installed instance of the paint manager and analyze its type:

CExtPaintManager * pPM = g_PaintManager.GetPM();
      ASSERT_VALID( pPM );
      if( pPM->IsKindOf( RUNTIME_CLASS( CExtPaintManagerOffice2003 ) ) )
      {
            // Office 2003 paint manager is installed or some other derived from it
      }
