CEdit
in [MFC]
|
From: vvf on 18 Apr 2010 15:48 Hi All, I would like to change the appereance of CEdit's buttons. Ideally, I would like to replace them with my own buttons (derived from CBitmapButton). I know all about the limitations of CEdit in terms of attempting to change the way it draws itself so before I even try to do something like this I would like to know if anyone here has any experience with that and if this scenario is even supported by CEdit. Furthermore, I would also like to draw its scrollbars. If I can't take over the drawing of its buttons and scroll bars, is it at least possible to change their colors ? I would like to know if there is a reliable way to achieve this in Windows XP, Vista and 7. Thanks. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5036 (20100417) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

What are you talking about? joe On Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:48:09 +0300, "vvf" <vvf(a)vvf.com> wrote: >Hi All, > >I would like to change the appereance of CEdit's buttons.

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 19 Apr 2010 13:57 Ah, then I would have expected the question to ask about the scrollbars, not about "buttons", which are a separate control. And, I believe that the answer is "You cannot do anything about this" (the alternate answer is "you will have to handle the OnNcPaint event and paint the non-client area for yourself) but that is not something most expienced WIndows programmers would choose to undertake, let alone a novice. There is another answer: create a separate scrollbar control and use it. This is the solution usually proposed in kiosk situations where a large touchable area is required. But the question was ill-formed, and was asking a detail of how to implement something, instead of asking how to solve a problem, e.g., "I have a touch-screen situation and I need to make large touchable scrollbars, what is the best recommendation for how to do this for an edit control?" joe On Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:38:16 -0700, "David Ching" <dc(a)remove-this.dcsoft.com> wrote: >"Joseph M.
