CMFCRibbonColorComboBox set background color for selected Item

How to derive my class CMFCRibbonColorComboBox from CMFCRibbonComboBox and override OnDrawDropListItem?

How I can set background color for selected item after selection.

BOOL CMFCRibbonColorComboBox::OnDrawDropListItem(CDC* pDC, int nIndex, CMFCToolBarMenuButton* pItem, BOOL bHighlight)
{
    ASSERT_VALID(this);
    CRect rc = pItem->Rect();
    LPCTSTR lpszText = GetItem(nIndex);
    if (lpszText == NULL)
    {
        return FALSE;
    }
    CString strText = lpszText;
    pDC->DrawText(strText, rc, DT_SINGLELINE | DT_VCENTER);
    return TRUE;
}
Solution

  • The CMFCRibbonComboBox class is derived from CMFCRibbonEdit which is derived from CMFCRibbonButton. As far as I can tell you need to override virtual COLORREF CMFCRibbonButton::OnFillBackground(CDC* pDC)
