Dear support,


I have a question about the hiding areas of the sliding bars ( those bands showing the tabs of the hidden bars). It looks to me that their height/width depends on the UI style and it falls in three categories:

- system-managed UI ( XP, and Studio 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2010)

- Office 2007-release 2 and  Office 2010 (7 views in all)

- Office 2007-release 1 ( the silver one with a white vertical gradient in the middle).


If it is not too much trouble, how can I make the width/height of the hiding areas for Office 2007-release 1 the same with the width/heigh for Office 2007 release 2 and Office 2010? Changing the UI style looks so much more stable if I do that.


Thank you,


Bogdan

If you do not need auto hiding feature, please comment out the invocation of the CExtControlBar::FrameInjectAutoHideAreas() static method.

Thanks for your response: I actually need the auto hiding features.

I was looking for something along the line of making CExtPaintManagerOffice2007_R1::TabWnd_GetParentSizingMargin() return false instead of specifying a margin of 0. That way, all styles related to Office would have had the same width/heigh of the hiding area.

Thank you for your consideration.
