It is also needed to include the header afxbutton.h, i.e. #include "afxbutton.h"

Solution 6

Use that

C++

m_Button1.m_nFlatStyle = CMFCButton::BUTTONSTYLE_NOBORDERS;

it will remove all default windows tag.

So Final solution is

	m_Button1.m_nFlatStyle = CMFCButton::BUTTONSTYLE_NOBORDERS;//required for flatering and use bg color
m_Button1.m_bTransparent = false;//reg for use bg color
m_Button1.SetFaceColor( RGB(211, 84, 0), true);

FOUR years too late.

Not sure why this is a problem, Richard. People still Google for this problem and this seems to be a solid answer that included the tip on setting transparency to false that the other answer didn't include. (and yes, my comment is also 4 years too late! :))

Well I wrote that comment more than four years ago. And these days I have difficulty remembering what I wrote last week.

Great answer! That worked. Got my 5 stars.

Solution 4

1. Place Button with Resource Editor
2. Add Variable for Button (for example m_StopButton ) with Wizard
3. Rename

C++

CButton  m_StopButtonto;

to

C++

CMFCButton  m_StopButton;

4. Change some visible features

C++

// Set the background color for the button text.
  m_StopButton.SetFaceColor(RGB(255,0,0),true);
  m_StopButton.SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255));
  // Set the tooltip of the button.
  m_StopButton.SetTooltip(_T("This is my Stop Button!"));

I used this code on VS2010 but id did not seem to work.

I added an MFC button from the resource editor and wrote.

CMFCButton *pButton = (CMFCButton *)GetDlgItem(IDC_MFCBUTTON1);
pButton->StFaceColor(RGB(255,0,0),true);
pButton->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255));

I wonder why the code doesn't seem to work.

(1)Note that the background is not filled when the CMFCButton::m_bTransparent member variable is TRUE.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/Bb983413.aspx

(2)SetFaceColor() is ignored by modern theme engines. The wizard greates something like:

CMFCVisualManager::SetDefaultManager(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCVisualManagerWindows));

You can comment this line out to disable custom MFC themes. This works, but the button
will not look good because of classic theme.

Possibly you can Load a Color-Bitmap to get the color you want.

Another solution would be to do an ownerdraw button - handling the OnDrawItem() or WM_DRAWITEM
message and do the painting yourself.
