Dear Support,

I have upgraded from 2.62 to 2.70
I have an application using CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_Silver, and in it there is a CExtGridWnd with cells types of CExtGridCellString.
In version 2.62 all was fine.
In version 2.70 the all the cells color is light gray, and because it’s on white, the text is unreadable.

Please verify and rectify...
Thanks,
Ron.

Dear Support,

I found out that this behavior only happens if you attach the read only attribute to the cell.
I think that this is a mistake, even if it was intentionally, you cannot read the content of the cell, and I think you should not touch the color of the cell even if it is read-only.

Regards,
Ron.

Thank you for reporting the problem. Here is how you can fix this.

1) Find the following code at the end of CExtGridCell::OnQueryTextColor()

if( clrText == COLORREF(-1L) )
{
      if( ( GetStyle() & __EGCS_READ_ONLY ) != 0 )
      {
            clrText = wndGrid.OnSiwGetSysColor( COLOR_3DFACE );
            return clrText;
      } // if( ( GetStyle() & __EGCS_READ_ONLY ) != 0 )
} // if( clrText == COLORREF(-1L) )

2) Replace it with the code below

if( clrText == COLORREF(-1L) )
{
      if( ( GetStyle() & __EGCS_READ_ONLY ) != 0 )
      {
            clrText = wndGrid.OnSiwGetReadOnlyTextColor();
            return clrText;
      } // if( ( GetStyle() & __EGCS_READ_ONLY ) != 0 )
} // if( clrText == COLORREF(-1L) )

3) Add a new OnSiwGetReadOnlyTextColor() virtual method to the CExtScrollItemWnd and CExtPropertyGridWnd classes:

COLORREF CExtScrollItemWnd::OnSiwGetReadOnlyTextColor() const
{
      ASSERT_VALID( this );
      return OnSiwGetSysColor( COLOR_BTNTEXT );
}

COLORREF CExtPropertyGridWnd::OnSiwGetReadOnlyTextColor() const
{
      ASSERT_VALID( this );
      return OnSiwGetSysColor( COLOR_3DFACE );
}
