    Posted: 17 September 2010 at 5:43am

I want to exclude the menubar in a form from the skinning in a vb6 app because I want to set the color of the menubar manually.

 I have found the SetColor method of the ColorManager. But I have no indention how to use this method. I havn't found a way to create a reference to the ColorManager. Please give me a short code example. 
 
thx

have you turned off the UseVisualStyle property of the CommandBar?

Hi,
 
I think it is possible but then you have to exclude Commandbars from getting skinned and set own color:
 
XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ColorManager.SetColor STDCOLOR_BTNFACE, vbyellow
 
Note: Setting background of menu seems only be possible STDCOLOR_BTNFACE but that means every single item of commandbars object will be painted with same color (which is using STDCOLOR_BTNFACE)

Hi again,
 
If you are going to use same color all the time, I suggest you change your Skin and set the color of menu manually. You don't have to add code to change color and don't have to exclude anything. Only have to change the Skin with CJ SkinBuilder Wink
 
Good luck

Thanks for your hint.
 
In my case in the form is the standard menubar used and not the Codejock commandbar. From Codejock I'm only using the Skinframework ActiveX Control. 
 
I have tried your solution with the Commandbar control. I have simly added a Commandbar to the form, without further settings. This way works.
 
Is a solution without using the Commandbar also available? 
 
Best regards
