Using Prof-UIS 2.50

I have two questions:

1) How do you restore the default color gradient background once you have set a different background using CExtGroupBox::SetBkColor?

2) With a GroupBox set to STYLE_ROUNDED, the background color is still drawn as a rectangle with square edges rather than a rectangle with rounded edges.  Is there a way to make the background fill edges rounded to match the outline of the groupbox? 

Thanks.

Here is the result of your code. It is by design because we fill the entire group box client area.

Sure, just do this:

m_wndGroupBox.SetStyle( CExtGroupBox::STYLE_ROUNDED );

m_wndGroupBox.SetBkColor( RGB(0,255,0) );

And you should see that the filled green rectangle is square rather than rounded.

 

 

1) To restore the default background color just -1L:

m_wndGroupBox.SetBkColor( COLORREF(-1L) );

2) We cannot confirm this. Would you show the code you are using for changing the group box style? We used the following one:

m_wndGroupBox.SetStyle( CExtGroupBox::STYLE_ROUNDED );

Sure, just do this:

m_wndGroupBox.SetStyle( CExtGroupBox::STYLE_ROUNDED );



m_wndGroupBox.SetBkColor( RGB(0,255,0) );

And you should see that the filled green rectangle is square rather than rounded.
