Backstage controls and OnCtlColor

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The CXTPRibbonBackstagePage::OnCtlColor sets the text color. We have some checkboxes on such a page but the text color doesn't change when we change the theme.

I have had to call SetWindowTheme to turn off the window theme. But, our check boxes then look old.

We use backstage labels and buttons. But, I don't see a way to make a backstage button a check button. And, I can't use a CXTPControlCheckBox since it is not a CWnd. I make sure theme changes are applied by calling SetTheme on those controls.

How would I go about getting a checkbox that reacts to theme changes on a backstage page? Am I missing something regarding the backstage button class that would make it a check button?
