Hi!
I am just doing my first Steps with the ADX Komponents. I created a new Projekt using the ADX Outlook Add-in Template. I used the COM Add-in Wizard to set up the projectproperties. On the 3. page of the wizard I added an Option page wich should be addes to the Outlook options menu.
That worked very well. Now I have some questions about how to design this page.
1. The "nativ" Outlook Optionpages have a grey/wite background. My option page has the standard clBtnFace color. Of course I can change the backgroundcolor but how can I set the backgroundcolor of my option page to the backgroundcolor of all other option pages?
2. The controls I added to the form do not use the XP-Theme even so I added XP Manifest component to the form? What have I to do to use the XP style (for Buttons, Edits, etc.)?
Thanks

Hi Andrei,
1. I think you need to draw a standard XP-themed background:
uses UxTheme;
// ...
procedure TADX_OptionsPageXP.PaintWindow(DC: HDC);
var
Data: HTHEME;
R: TRect;
begin
inherited PaintWindow(DC);
if (DC
<> 0) and not (csDesigning in ComponentState) then
if UseThemes and IsAppThemed and IsThemeActive then begin
Data := OpenThemeData(Self.Handle, 'tab');
if Data
<> 0 then begin
R := Rect(0, 0, Self.Width, Self.Height);
DrawThemeBackground(Data, DC, TABP_BODY, 0, R, nil);
CloseThemeData(Data);
end;
end;
end;
2. I think there are 2 ways:
- Create a "global" manifest file (Outlook.exe.manifest).
- Use 3rd party controls that can look like native XP-themed controls.
P.S. Note that we take up your forum requests in the order we receive them.
Besides, it may take us some time to investigate your issue. Please be sure we will let you know as soon as the best possible solution is found.

Hi!
Thanks for your tipps. I will try them out and let you know if they worked. Meanwhile I have an other question concering Optionpages:
As you can see on the image the is an area at the bottom of the OptionPageForm which is not shown in Outlook? How can I correct this error?
Thanks

Hi Andrei,
You can use the following code for adjusting your options page:
type
TADX_OptionsPageXP = class(TActiveForm, IADX_OptionsPageXP, PropertyPage)
// ...
private
FLock: boolean;
// ...
procedure WMSize(var Message: TWMSize); message WM_SIZE;
protected
// ...
procedure TADX_OptionsPageXP.WMSize(var Message: TWMSize);
begin
inherited;
if not FLock then begin
FLock := True;
try
Height := Height + 32;
finally
FLock := False;
end;
end;
end;
