| Rince | is there a way to change ur Vb projects scroll bar colour? | November 23, 2004, 2:08 AM |
| LivedKrad | I think you can use CallWindowProc to set VScrollBar/HScrollBar's color. | November 23, 2004, 2:13 AM |
| UserLoser. | [quote author=LivedKrad link=topic=9643.msg89775#msg89775 date=1101175985] I think you can use CallWindowProc to set VScrollBar/HScrollBar's color. [/quote] CallWindowProc is just what you use to return unhandled window messages by your subclasser to the original window proc, so, I don't think that can help. I'd assume catching WM_CREATE, WM_DRAWITEM, or WM_PAINT and handling things in there could change the scroll bar's style | November 23, 2004, 7:49 PM |
| LivedKrad | Well, like I said, I 'think' that could've worked. I just quickly searched for a solution via Google and grabbed the first thing I saw. I don't do much work with API because well, I don't program that often. Sorry for the misinformation, I obviously have a mediocre thought process. :P I'm not saying I know what CallWindowProc does, but it seems like (from your post) that you could catch an unhandled message sent by the scrollbar's object and then actually handle it. (Since you used the words "catch" when describing the messages you could use to change properties.) | November 23, 2004, 11:16 PM |
| FrOzeN | You can change scroll bar colours using theses API's but it takes alittle mucking around with them.. google the for more info..
