Actually, it is not GDI+, it is just gradient fill.
Well, I have gradient fill code but was having a bit of trouble making it
look anything like Vista highlights.
I've just found the Gdiplus::Graphics object available from MFC by
declaring:
using namespace Gdiplus;
It appears this does have some new stuff. I should probably know all about
this already but I've never played with it before. Guess it's time to start.
It is unfortunate that the "new look" does not have primitives available
to us to draw the
shapes, edges, fills, etc. This is a serious defect in the design of
these new controls.
Apparently, no one EVER wants to draw a control that looks like a new
control, so why
bother? This shows a real disconnect with the developers.
You can explore gradient fill with my Gradient Fill Explorer.

I'd like to manually draw selection bars that looks similar to those in
the
ListView control on the latest versions of Windows. I assume this is GDI+.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
