Now I need to personalize CExtPageNavigatorWnd , but I don’t know how to do it. Anothed thing I need is to understand how personalize the button creating round button with transparent color.

There are two types of skinned control parts in the Office 2007 themes:

- most of control parts are painted by bitmap based skin items

- and some of parts painted by code using solid color fill and/or gradient fill with two or more steps

The page navigator control is mostly skinned with manual painting implemented in the set of PageNavigator_***() and PaintPageNavigator***() virtual methods of the paint manager. You should override required methods to change the look of the page navigator control. We guess you should implement the PaintPageNavigatorConfigButton() virtual method in your paint manager class.
