Forums » Prof-UIS Tech Support » Hover effect on CExtCheckBox Collapse All
Subject Author Date

When using the themes in between Office2000 and NativeXP/Vista/7, no hover effect is shown while the mouse is over CExtCheckBox and CExtRadioButton controls on my dialog and view classes. There is no problem with CExtButton controls and no problem with other themes. I directly used  CExtCheckBox control, not a CExtCheckBox driven control, in order to avoid possible paint, erase etc. messages’ intervention. But no luck. What may cause this specific problem? Thanks.

I did not mean the skin shapes. I meant the simple hover effect. Below are two images, one from my project and the other one from Prof-UIS Controls. Both have the Office 2003 theme. Both controls are CExtCheckBox classes. In my project when the mouse is over a checkbox, nothing happens. But in your sample project, you can see the simple hover effect.

You forgot to create a manifest resource. You can find the following line in the .rc2 file of any Prof-UIS sample application:

IDR_MANIFEST 24 DISCARDABLE "res\\manifest_x86.xml"

Where IDR_MANIFEST is 1. 24 stands for RT_MANIFEST.

Only new themes provide skin shapes for hovered check box shapes. Older themes are more flat and do not require hover effect over check boxes.
