Windows look 'n' feel Topic is solved

Do you have a typical platform dependent issue you're battling with ? Ask it here. Make sure you mention your platform, compiler, and wxWidgets version.

Windows look 'n' feel

Post by Nunki »

Hi guys,
I use the MDI style of building an application and my app is used on both windows 7 and 10. However on win10 the parent MDI window is of windows10 style flat, low contrast and ultra thin border. Which is what you would expect wxWidgets to do, provide the native ui. But the MDI child windows or frames do have the windows7 style.
Is there any flag I need to set while creating the wxMDIChildFrame ? Or is this some quirk related to windows10 we cannot surpass ?

regards,
Nunki

That seems to be a Windows issue. When you google for ' "windows 10" mdi look ' you'll find similar questions.
Use the source, Luke!

You're right, and it even seems to be an issue dating back to 2013. Thought they would have fixed it by now.
