I am trying to upgrade a VS2005 C++ application to VS2008 using the new MFC Feature Pack.
In particular I want ot be able to use the new menu and toolbars to improve the application look&feel. Ill explain what I want to achive before explaining my doubts/problems.
I want one menu bar and three different toolbar (all in the same row). I want to be able to change the centre toolbar for every view while keeping the other two.
In my VS2005 application I use a CMenu and 3 CToolbar inside one CReBar control. That works fine. I have changed the CMenu for a CMFCMenuBar, CToolbar for CMFCToolBar and the CReBar for CMFCReBar (among other changes). These are my problems:
If I apply a Visual Manager the rebar control is not been painted with the same look&feel that the rest of the controls.When I attach any of the toolbars to the rebar control, the toolbar background is not the same that the rebar. I mean the rebar control is painted with a gradient that is not in the toolbar (even if use the transparent style in the toolbar there is a kind of border).If I try not to use the CMFCReBar control, I am having problems to make the toolbars and menus not floatable.
Maybe I am not using the right approach to upgrade my application. But I dont find much information about how to do it if you need to make some costumizations.
Can anybody help me to do it?
Thanks in advance.
