I have modify the method paint to change the msgbar
I rem

WndBoxIn( hDC, 3, nLeft - 2, ::oMsgBar:nHeight-5, nLeft + ::nWidth - 6 )

and I insert

WndBoxRaised( hDC, 0, nLeft - 4, 22, nLeft + ::nWidth -1)

Now when I define a msgitem ( txt) it show the txt on white background

I insert also before the DrawMsgItem function the command SetBkMode( hDC, 1 )

but it not change the error ... How I can make it ?

Silvio,

Do you want the msgitem to paint transparent over the light blue gradient ?

yes look thi s message on footer http://fivetechsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8744

can i insert gradient color on tabs class ?
I must create a new variable ( l2007) ?

Silvio,

Do you mean Class TTabs ?

> I must create a new variable ( l2007) ?

yes, that would be the right way

where i can found drawmsgitem function ?

FWH uses to do that, but if the backgound has a gradient painting then its not a longer valid solution

source\function\drawitem.c

Is it possible to have 2007 look for TTabs control also ?

thanks Antonio

Antonio, I insert the code you sent me :

SetBkMode( hDC, TRANSPARENT ); // new

// ExtTextOut( hDC, 2, 4, ETO_OPAQUE, &rc, "", 0, 0 ); no
DrawText( hDC, cMsg, wLen, &rc, DT_CENTER);

but not run ok

Then Another question I wanted modify the color when the mouse is over the msgitem
where I must modify this color ?

Silvio,

yes, I know, thats what I commented. We need to find a way to repaint the background properly.

Do you want to change the color of the msgitem text when the mouse is over ?
