Have a look at the CXTreeCtrl control, and see the parts where they paint a bitmap. Just replace those with drawing a gradient.

Just because the answer hasn't been given to you 100%, doesn't mean you can't adapt their work.

I have no idea. Try putting a breakpoint on that function, and then you'll find out.

CTreeCtrl TV_ITEM labels - are painted with black background instead of trasparent

30-Jan-08 4:47

there is no souce code is available
to debug

if i put the code in my app the function is not calling only

and
SetBkImage() is not a member of CTreeCtrl
to over ride
its mentioned that it is overridable function

I implimented CustomDraw

when i put lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ;
lables are painted with black color background but not trasparent
please some one tell me what shud i change in the code to get the CtreeCtrl lables trasparent

void CLeftPaneTreeCtrl::OnCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch(pNMHDR->code)
{
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW:
{
LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW lptvcd = (LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW )pNMHDR;

lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ;
lptvcd->clrText = (RGB(0,0,255));

//SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
//SetBkMode(lplvcd->nmcd.hdc,TRANSPARENT);

switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{

case CDDS_PREPAINT:

// Need to process this case and set pResult to
// CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW, otherwise parent will never receive
//CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT notification. (GGH)

*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;

}

in my Tree control OnCustomDraw i have written code like this

void CLeftPaneTreeCtrl::OnCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch(pNMHDR->code)
{
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW:
{
LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW lptvcd = (LPNMTVCUSTOMDRAW )pNMHDR;

//lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ;
//lptvcd->clrText = (RGB(0,0,255));

SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0));
SetBkMode(lplvcd->nmcd.hdc,TRANSPARENT);

switch (lplvcd->nmcd.dwDrawStage)
{

case CDDS_PREPAINT:

// Need to process this case and set pResult to
// CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW, otherwise parent will never receive
//CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT notification. (GGH)

*pResult = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
return;

}
}
}
}

in that code
SetTextColor(RGB(255, 0, 0)); works fine

SetBkMode(lplvcd->nmcd.hdc,TRANSPARENT); doesnt work ( it doesnt make TreeCtrl lables trasparent

CLeftPaneTreeCtrl is Derived class of CTreeCtrl
My I am hosting TreeCtrl on CView derived class MyView

and
if i uncomment both the lined comented in the code

lptvcd->clrTextBk = CLR_NONE ; -> doent work it paints Black background instead of transparent color

but any other color for eg lptvcd->clrTextBk = RGB(0,0,225) works fine

lptvcd->clrText = (RGB(0,0,255)); -> works fine

now I am not able to make lables trasparent

but one more thing ... the same method works fine in my CListCtrl with respect to trasparent lables ... ofcouse there r some other probs butfirst i wnana sort out the rpob with tree control transparent labels first

am looking for solution please help me out

Hi,

I am creating a dialog based application in MFC, and I am having a weird problem with one of the CWnd derived objects on my dialog.

Basically when starting the application, if it starts up such that the mouse pointer is over one particular dialog (which I created...) the hourglass doesn't go away until I move the mouse off that part of the dialog. As soon as I move it off the dialog it goes away. If it starts up such that the mouse over another part of the dialog it goes away just fine.

However, it's kind of annoying (and unprofessional) because that part of the dialog that causes the mouse the hourglass to hang is quite large.

Strange! Is there any way to programatically tell the hour glass to go away?

Thanks - @LRG

Ok,

Let me answer my own question - I just found that if I put EndWaitCursor() in the OnInitDialog memeber after creating the problem CWnd it works.

Wondering, is this a bit of a kluge?

Thanks - @LRG

Sounds like it.

How many dialogs are we talking about here? The first sentence in this post implies one dialog with several controls on it. Is there more to it than that?

Yes, you're right - one dialog with several controls. One particular control is causing the problem.
