Windows 10. Trying to set the color of the title bar. It is currently white.
When going to desktop, personalize, colors, "show accent color on the following surfaces" "title bars and window borders" - it sets the color for the user, but only when the window is active. When it becomes inactive the title goes back to white. How can I change that inactive color (or active as well if they have not made that windows 10 color setting?).
I try this FormManager but my form is loosing its touch capability. I cannot move the form by dragging the title with my finger any more. I still can move the form with the mouse. Eventually, I have to stop using this control.Thanks
Hello Todd,
I apologize, I had forgotten that there actually is a tool in the Infragistics for Windows Forms toolset that can help you achieve this called the UltraFormManager. This will essentially provide a different Window chrome, but it allows you to customize the look of your Form.
For more information on the UltraFormManager, I would recommend taking a look at the following online documentation article.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
I saw that thread as well. The SO accepted answer has a comment it does not work in Windows 10. That is what I am seeing as well.
I believe its because they are attempting to paint the heading at some point in the draw loop, but w10 is probably overwriting that color quickly thereafter.
Most of the solutions on the web involve removing the default windows chrome and building your own, which is quite cumbersome. I was wondering if Infragistics had any tricks in the toolbox.
My team and I have done an initial review of this thread, and after doing some research, I believe I have found a stack-overflow article that can help you with this. I would recommend taking a look at the following article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11862315/changing-the-color-of-the-title-bar-in-winform.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
