Coloured controls Description

Advertisement Coloured controls is a Development software developed by viksoe.dk. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for Coloured controls: EditBy This is a bunch of subclassed controls, which Paint the components in colours of your choice. Some of the classes stoop down to owner-drawn and custom-drawn techniques to achieve their goal, so even if you don't need cheery colours in your application, it might be worth a check. Bringing on your own colours to the standard Windows controls seems terrible awkward. Almost all of the controls support some form or another of changing its Default colouring, but it's only with the latest Windows Common Controls that we actually see a simple API emerging, such as the ListView_SetTextColor. The original Windows controls (the Edit, Button, ListBox etc.) support changing colours by reflecting on the WM_CTLCOLORxxx range of messages. The new Windows Common Controls support complex colour-schemes as part of their custom drawing behaviour. Unfortunately, this is buried deeply enough in the documentation to cause most developers to miss it completely
