Re: How to draw static controls and check box buttons transparently ?

Looks strange because when an XP theme is active, all text labels are drawn transparently; in fact, no WM_CTLCOLOR handling is necessary. Does your app have a manifest resource in it that enables theming (the XP look) when a theme is active?

The gradient that you see in "My Computer-> properties" is NOT a feature of a themed Tab control, it's how the theme handles property sheets - it applies a gradient background to each of the dialog in the sheet. If you create your own tabbed dialog, you can do it by handling WM_ERASEBKGND in each of your dialogs.

Consider the following code excerpt; perhaps you will get some ideas on your group boxes (BTW, they belong to window class BUTTON, not STATIC):

BOOL myGroupBox::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) 
{
    CRect rcCtrl;
    GetClientRect(rcCtrl);

    if (GetUXThemeState().IsThemeActive())
        pDC->FillSolidRect(rcCtrl, ColorAdjustLuma(afxData.clrBtnFace, 750, TRUE));
    else
        pDC->FillSolidRect(rcCtrl, afxData.clrBtnFace);

    PrintClient(pDC, PRF_CLIENT);

    return 1;
}

void myGroupBox::OnPaint() 
{
    // validates the invalid area to prevent the infinite paint loop
    PAINTSTRUCT ps = {0}; 
    ::BeginPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
    ::EndPaint(m_hWnd, &ps);
}

Thank you very much for your response. I'll try your code. I don't use property sheets besause of it's limitations. I have tab control which has child dialogs. I'm handling the child dialog's onEraseBackgroud where I do nothing, so oridinal tab control's background remains.
I have manifest file in my resources, so all buttons, group boxes, etc. looks like in Win XP theme.
So I don't know why my static controls are not drawn transparently by default Confused | :confused:

I'm also calling InitCommonControls(); in the app's InitInstance() as recommended ...

Could you make a small screenshot of the text label portion of a group box and give a link? this can make the native Windows drawing procedure more clear.

Oh... I think all you have to do is give your group boxes sensible ID's (other than -1 /IDC_STATIC/), check them in the WM_CTLCOLOR handler, call pdc->SetBkColor() for these ID's and return a brush of a proper color. Do not set the background mode to TRANSPARENT.

Does anyone of you know how to develop a tool like tcpview(by sysinternals.com)? My requirement is to not just listing (as in TCPview) but to monitor and end a process before it actually starts. For example, i want to filter all applications passing through port 80 except Internet Explorer. so if some clicks any pdf file on Internet, he will not be allowed to do so? how do i proceed? i m really clueless and need some ideas.

Thanking u,

BN_DBLCLK: For Button Double Click

wParam
The low-order word contains the button's control identifier. (USE LOWORD macro here)
The high-order word specifies the notification message.
(USE HIWORD macro here)

lParam
Handle to the button

Use LVM_ENSUREVISIBLE to scroll an item into view.

MS-ACCESS log rotation

in my application i have used MS-access database to log events. Now i want to automatically rotate the log. i.e after a week say the log should be backed up. and then after some time deleted. how do i do it?

two options
1) have another DB file and when the time is up, copy all the recordsets from the current to the backed up
and empty the current

2) import an empty database in ur Exe and when the time comes copy the DB to DBBkup directory and spit out the empty DB from the Exe File (FindResource will help)

One way would be to put del ...\mydatabase.mdb in a batch file and create a scheduled task that would run the batch file every Monday. Other ways exist, too.
