Chaging the Color for the MainFrame Window in SDI MDI Application.

[Shatrughan]

Hi Guru's,

I have SDI application with GUI as windows explore, now I want to change the
color of my MainFrame Window i.e only the Menubars , toolbar , status bar &
splitters .. not the views..

Is there any way?

Regards,

You might want to try asking this in microsoft.public.vc.mfc as it gets
far more traffic than this group.

Unfortunately its not very easy to do this. Menubar is essentially off
limits unless you want to do all of it yourself (w/o) using win32 menu. A
CControlBar derivative can have a differnt color if you make transparent
and change the color of its underlying dockbar. Search google groups for
doing this in mfc's newsgroup.
