Get color related to current Style

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

   I have a project that uses an MDI RibbonBar (like the sample project RibbonMDISample of CJ)
I would like to know how to retrieve the color of a specific 'part' according to the current style like Office 2013, Office 2010 Blue, Black, Silver, ...
For example, if the form has the standard default color (& H8000000F &) even if I change the style, color remains unchanged, while I would like to adapt it to the selected Office style.

I try the GetSpecialColor()  function of CommandBars control, but this fetches only the colors for Standard and XP, and does not recover those used in the Office styles.

Even the Appearance property of each controls does not help because it lists many styles, but there is no way to set the exact color used by RibbonBar Office style (i.e. Blue, Black, Silver, ... ) . 

Even the SkinFramework seems to be no help, because it manages other types of styles (System, XP, iTunes, ...). I don't need them.

There is a way to get color for each part of the style?
I hope it.

Thank
