I am currently working on an explorer type interface for a larger project
which has multiple views of a single document. In the Explorer type window group when you have the input focus set on the the list view part as needed by the toolbar display as list etc. options. The highlight vanishes in the tree view is there a way to keep the highlights in both views at the same
time? Confused | :confused:
The only way I can think of is, if there is not a built in for the controls, in the controls onSelChanging to set the back and forground colours of the
selected item of the tree control to the highlight colour (while also reverting back to the standard colours for the previously selected item.
This seems like an awful lot of work that I would hate to attempt if its not nessacary. If it is I can try it but I probablely have questions. Eek! | :eek:
Microsofts documentation is in a style I do not get on with and most book do not go into anywhere neer enough detail.
I have been a programmer in C and C++ for 10 years but this is my first venture in to the arcane relm of visual C++. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
Great code By the way and thanks for any help in advance.
Big Grin | :-D
