Windows Theme for a single control deactivating?

[Bernhard Roos]

Hello,
is it possible programmatically for a single control (for example a
TCheckBox Control) the Windows Theme to deactivate? All other controls
(of TCheckBox and other classes) should use still the Windows Themes.
Only this one control should use classic style.

Best wishes
Bernhard

You can call the SetWindowTheme method to disable themes for a
specific window handle:

SetWindowTheme(Handle, nil, '');

If the window is recreated, however, you'll have to call
SetWindowTheme again. You can create a descendant class and override
the CreateWnd method so you can call SetWindowTheme immediately after
the window is created.

Thanks for the answer. This works.

But my hope was, that I am able to change the Color and Font.Color if I
deactivate the Window Theme for this control. But I'm still not able to
change the color and font.color.

Is there a way to solve this without write a descendent of the control?

Best wishes

Depends on the control.
