this is not what i want. can anyone tell how to make it just like the first whatever the theme is?
I think you need to refer to: Enabling Visual Styles and SetWindowTheme
thanks, i have tried this, but it did't work
According to Microsoft, deskbands are not recommended for Windows 7. Maybe you can try to use the IDeskBand2 interface. Also you can refer to this thread.
hi, i'm using the official deskbandsdksample， added a child edit box, when the aero theme is enabled, the text in the edit box is tranparent, and its color is changed, i want it black whatever the current theme is, does it possiable?
I think you need to use GDI+ and customize the drawing. Refer to: How to get black color font in deskband for Aero themes with different window color
