Hello,

I would like to paint the CMainFrame background with the current paint manager theme, as you did in the views of the MDIDOCVIEW sample.

I added an OnPaint() method to the main frame in your sample, and naively thought it would do the trick :

void CMainFrame::OnPaint() 
{
	CPaintDC dcPaint( this );
	CExtMemoryDC dc( &dcPaint );
	CRect rcClient;
	GetClientRect( &rcClient );
	if( ! g_PaintManager->PaintDocumentClientAreaBkgnd( dc, this ) )
	{
		dc.FillSolidRect(
			&rcClient,
			g_PaintManager->GetColor( COLOR_WINDOW, this )
			);
	}
}

The PaintDocumentClientAreaBkgnd() method returns true, but nothing seems to be done.

Could you tell me what I am missing in your sample ?

Thank you and best regards,

Christophe Guibert
