Setting Active Caption Background Color

Hi,

I’m new to wxpython and have been using wxformbuilder to design application forms. I can’t find a property or method to change active caption background color. I guess my first question should have been can this be done in the first place ?

thanks,

Don

Don,

The first advice I would give anybody new to wxpython is to download,
install and run through all of the demos in the wxPython Docs & Demos
package.

The demos cover the vast majority of the wx functionality and you can
edit the demos in place to try things out.

If you look at the code that wxformbuilder outputs you can find the base
class of the objects that you wish to set the background colour of and
you can then either check the manuals or use the interactive helps.

Hope this helps.

The active caption background color is a system attribute, determined by
the system-wide window theme. You can't change it for your one window,
unless you take over all rendering for the non-client areas of the
window (that is, the title bar, the borders, the scroll bars, the system
menu, etc).

In short, it's almost never worth the trouble.
