Forums » Prof-UIS Tech Support » Light-colored Dialog in CExtTabPageContainerWnd Collapse All
Subject Author Date

In the Prof-UIS-Controls sample the Dialog inserted into CExtTabPageContainerWnd has the same background-color as a usual dialog. I’d like to find out how to make it a light-colored dialog, just as a CPropertyPage in a CPropertySheet (there the propertypage has the same color as the selected tab) Thank you: Chris.

The CExtResizableDialog’s background is painted in a way that it is consistent with the theme provided by the currently selected paint manager. If you don’t need this feature, just use the CDialog class instead of CExtResizableDialog.

You’ve also inserted normal CDialog in your Prof-UIS Control sample, but it’s still not the right color (too dark gray). Isn’t there a way to use different color on CDialog? Thank you: Chris.

To use another color for the dialog background, just handle the WM_CTLCOLOR message. This is described in MSDN.
