Hi I have two questions 1. Is there any way to retrieve information about toolbar resources (number of buttons, their ID's and images) without loading them into CToolBar object? 2. If look at VS .NET menu (which is actually a toolbar) you can notice that there is a one pixel distance between items, so if you move mouse over it no item will be selected. How it could be done? ________________________ Best regards, v0id

Does anybody have any information/links/etc about MFC classes CControlBar, CDockBar and CDockContext? On CodeProject, CodeGuru and other internet resources there are only few articles with obsolete information.

Hi While creating a owner-drawn menu I have found, that MFT_OWNERDRAW style does not apply to any item with identifier ID_FILE_MRU_FILE1. Here goes my code: int nItemCount = GetMenuItemCount(); MENUITEMINFO mii; ZeroMemory(&mii, sizeof(mii)); mii.cbSize = sizeof(mii); mii.fMask = MIIM_TYPE; mii.fType = MFT_OWNERDRAW; for (int i = 0; i < nItemCount; i++) { CMyMenu* pMenu = (CMyMenu*)GetSubMenu(i); if (pMenu) pMenu->MakeOwnerDrawn(); SetMenuItemInfo(m_hMenu, i, TRUE, &mii); } If I use ModifyMenu instead of SetMenuItemInfo, everything is OK, except clicking on items have no effect. Any suggestions? Best regards, v0id

Hello I'm developing my own controls library and want to implement Office XP menu support, but there is a promblem: I don't know how to calculate appropriate colors. I took a look at ProfUIS, GuiLib, CMenuXP and few other libraries and controls and everybody calculate colors in his own way, but in wrong way. Such applications as SmartFTP, ASP.NET Web Matrix, PHP Expert Editor, etc does the same. Only one library calculate correct colors. It is Xtreme Toolkit by Codejock Software. Can anybody help me? __________________________________________________ Best regards, v0id

Microsoft .NET is a very perspective technology, but I think it could kill MFC. Not in near future, but some time later. I didn't read anything about this, I'm just want to hear your opinion about MFC's future.

XP icons with shadow does not draw properly. I'm using standard functions and can't understand what I do wrong.

What value I would get if I send for example WM_USER + 100 to window, that have no handler for it (should it process it to DefWindowProc)?

You can find more information in Paul DiLascia article in Microsoft Systems Journal, 1995 (I don't remember month).

While creating my owner-drawn button class I encountered such a mmm... problem. E.g. when you launch your app in Visual Studio you can press a button on the toolbar or Ctrl+F5. In the first case standard Windows buttons doesn't draw the focus rectangle untill you press the Tab button, but in second case they draw that damn rect. How can I do the same.

Hello I want to create a brush for painting the chess-like background for my button with the 1-pixel step. Do I need to use CreatePatternBrush and create appropriate bitmap, or there is another solution.

Hi I'm now creating some OfficeXP-like menus, but I don't know how to get such system colors. Any suggestions. P. S. By the way, where can I look at Office 2003 interface.
