Hi again!

I want to add bitmaps to my main menu (eg: MenuControlBar background, and BarButton background).
Is there a sample for that ?

If not, wat is the best way ? (custom CExtBarButton&CExtMenuControlBar, or custom paintmanager ?)

Thanks

The menu bar background is based on the parent dock bar window background and there is no skin item for re-defining the menu bar’s background. Please override the CExtControlBar::DoEraseBk() virtual method in your CExtMenuControlBar-derived class and paint a custom background there.

Ok, I tried the xml skin system, and it sounds promising.


How can I set my menubar background ? Its seems to paint the general BG; can I set another bitmap ?


I have another problem with the 9 parts cutting:

the 1st image is the backgroud bitmap.

In the skin file I have :
<Glyph
            Name="Background"
            Image="BlackDiamond\Background\menuBarBg_test.png"
            Ctp="10" Clp="10" Cbp="10" Crp="10"
            Tp="10" Lp="10" Rp="10" Bp="10"
            />

the 2nd image is my floating menu : it looks ok
the 3rd image is the docked menu : the borders are cropped

Help :)
