sethindeed Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Was wondering... How can I change the colors of an MDIForm title bar, toolbar and status bar. It seems that it uses Windows,System colors and that there ain't no way I can change it... thx Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
*Gurus* divil Posted February 23, 2003 *Gurus* Posted February 23, 2003 There isn't. If you want to change the colours of these controls you will have to draw them entirely by yourself, a very non-trivial task.

sethindeed Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 Well I have to work out a solution. Is there a way to manipulate Windows themes ot something ? I can't believe I can't change the titlebar and statusbar back color. As soon as I work out a solution, I will let you know Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
sethindeed Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 I think that being unable to set the backcolor properties of Statusbar and Toolbars is a MAJOR regression from VS6 Quote What I don't know keeps me excited...
*Gurus* divil Posted February 23, 2003 *Gurus* Posted February 23, 2003 I like it. It help stop people inflicting _really_ ugly toolbars and statusbars on the world :P Seriously though, windows controls are meant to look standard. If you go to enough trouble, you can change them.
