Re: Colors for XP and Classic themes
Do you get the same result if you use a brush obtained with
GetSysColorBrush()?

I use code like this:
::FillRect(pDC->m_hDC, &rectIcon, (HBRUSH) (COLOR_MENU+1));
to erase a static control to match the background of a dialog. This works
fine using the Windows Classic theme.
When I change to Windows XP theme, the static control is erased with an
off white color, instead of a light grey.
So I looked at some theme APIs and tried code like this:
HTHEME hTheme = NULL;
HWND hWnd = NULL;
BOOL bAppThemed = IsAppThemed();
if(bAppThemed)
{
hWnd = GetSafeHwnd();
hTheme = OpenThemeData(hWnd, L"Static");
}
but hTheme returned from OpenThemeData is always null. (I intended to try
using GetThemeSysColor.)
How can I solve this problem (erasing a static control to match the
background of a dialog)?
