BackGround color of Status Bar

[karhong]

Hi, I'm able to set the text and the background color of the text for Status bar, but I'm not able to set the color for the 'seperator' of the status bar. I have 3 column on the status bar, each of the text and background I'm able to set it but have no luck on the 'seperator' I've done it by creating a custom status bar inherited from CStatusBar By drawing it on DrawItem CODE: CDC oDC; CDC* pdc = CDC::FromHandle(pDIS->hDC); pdc->FillSolidRect(&pDIS->rcItem, RGB(255,255,255)); oDC.Attach(pDIS->hDC); oDC.SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0)); oDC.SetBkColor(pDIS->itemData); pDIS->rcItem.left += 2; oDC.DrawText(_T("Test"),&pDIS->rcItem,DT_LEFT); oDC.Detach(); Any ways to do this? I wanted to change the whole status bar into white color RGB(255,255,255) Any help would be appreciated. KH

Is there any ways for me to set the seperator on the status bar become smaller?? by default, the width of it is 0.1cm Or can I disable/remove the seperator between the item in the status bar ??

Did you try to handle the WM_CTLCOLOR to change the status bar color?
