[wxMSW] What is the best way to get notified when the background or forground colors of a control changes? Topic is solved

[tomay3000]

Hello,
I need to know where to intercept the background and forground color changes of a control.
Is there an event I don't know about?
What is the best way to do it?

TIA.

No event is triggered in these cases. But the only time this could happen, is when you change the color yourself, isn't it? So why would you need to get notified?

[tomay3000]

I use a sub-classed wxControl, and I need to update the drawing inside that sub-classed control according to the background and foreground colors.
So if later I use mySubClassedControl.SetBackgroundColour() or mySubClassedControl.SetForgroundColour(), then how do I know inside the sub-classed control if the color was changed!

Override these two methods and either perform the necessary changes immediately, or set a flag and perform them when the next paint event is received.

I completely missed that these methods are virtual and probably was made like that for this reason.
Thank you.
