From: Drew on 28 Oct 2009 12:19 I'm in the process of changing the look of our app to use the new feature pack controls and have chosen a project of style Visual Studio 2005. I've added some panes to the CMFCStatusBar in addition to the default provided: CAPS, OVR, etc. The text in my panes all appear gray and I'm trying to figure out to make their text black. I've tried adding: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyMainWnd, CMDIFrameWndEx) ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI_RANGE(ID_FIRST_PANE, ID_LAST_PANE, OnUpdateStatusBarPanes) END_MESSAGE_MAP() void CMyMainWnd::OnUpdateStatusBarPanes(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) { m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneTextColor(pCmdUI->m_nID - ID_FIRST_PANE, COLORREF(RGB(255, 255, 255))); } which is as close to an answer as I've found by searching, specifically: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/d931dd86-64dc-4372-89bf-4ccb5bd1601d which I consider less than helpful. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Drew
From: Jonathan Wood on 28 Oct 2009 13:48 This sort of setting is not normally related to the update mechanism of MFC, although I can see instances where it could be. I stuck the following line near the end of CMainFrame::OnCreate(): m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneTextColor(0, RGB(255, 0, 0)); And, sure enough, the text in the first pane appears red.

So there's something else going on here.

So > there's something else going on here. Interesting. Are you sure all your previous code was disabled? My code changes the first pane's text to red and it stays red when I open various views and switch between them. I haven't spent enough time on this to know what the issue is but now I wonder if you have some other code doing something that prevents your app from working like mine. > > Thanks, > Drew > ---------------- >> >> >> >> "Drew" <dam(a)dam.com> wrote in message >> news:OTXY1q#VKHA.5208(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>> I'm in the process of changing the look of our app to use the new >>> feature pack controls and have chosen a project of style Visual Studio >>> 2005.

To make the text on the statusbar black you just have to add pCmdUI->Enable( true ); |
