XTP 12.0.1, XP SP2, SDI-application with panes.

In CMainFrame constructor:

XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(hModule);

XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NORMALBLUE.INI"));

XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hModule, _T("OFFICE2007BLACK.INI"));

Then when I create multiple panes in CMainFrame::OnCreate, some of them are initially seen as if "OFFICE2007BLUE" was set! After a second or so, they turn black. Why this delay?!

What is going on? I explicitly set black ribbon-style, way before the panes are created!

Hi,

What theme you have for Panes ? Try to set theme before you create panes.

// Set Office 2007 Theme

CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);

-- InitCommandBars --

-- Create ribbon --

-- Create child windows (panes) --

m_paneManager.InstallDockingPanes(this);

m_paneManager.EnableKeyboardNavigate();

m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->m_nSplitterSize = 2;

m_paneManager.HideClient(TRUE);

Then I create its panes! I don't specify a theme (haven't I already set it above?).

Hi,

Above you set theme for CommandBars. you have set theme for DockingPane too.

Find m_paneManager.SetTheme line and move it after m_paneManager.InstallDockingPanes

That solved it for all but one pane. I also had to move "GetPaintManager()->SetColumnStyle(xtpReportColumnOffice2007);" from the constructor of my report controls, to PreSubclassWindow!

Thanks Oleg!
