From: John Smith on 14 Jan 2010 20:37 When a windows app in foreground, it's title bar and taskbar label become blue, and in background, become gray. Now I want to customize my app's appearance, when my app in background state, I hope it's title bar is still blue(just like in foreground state). I hope it needn't me to draw the title bar myself. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I believe you need to intercept the NC frame window messages for that. -- HLS

I think you indeed need to draw the title bar (WM_NCPAINT). But frankly, this question is one of those that don't deserve help. I would like to know your motivation for doing this. I certainly don't like that frames of programs I use behave in a non- standard way. Also, it's not about grey-blue distinction, actual colors depend on color scheme and windows version (it's not really grey-blue e.g. on Vista, is it?). And finally, it's not about background-foreground (term is loaded anyhow), it's about focus. I hope you give up on that idea for the benefit of your program users. Goran. |
