Hello,

My name is Vadim Gokhberg. I'm the architect of pretty big Unified Desktop project.

Originally the project was base on CCF 2008 and now we are going to move to CCA.

I currently stucked with the folloing problem: how can I change the visual appearence of application tabcontrol and panel? Like - color, background images, additional buttons on the tab(with funtionality) etc.

I tryed to analyse the UII code, but as far as I understand it is impossible to just inherit tab/panel control - there is a class type casting (instead of interface casing) in "using" class and the methods, responsible for appearence, are neither virtual, nor visible sometimes (private). there is also no way to tell UII to have "new" classes via configuration, at least documentation does not mention such things.

Does anybody dived into such problems?

Thanks,

Vadim
