XTP 12.1.1.

This has been bugging me for a long time.

Q: After switching Office 2007-theme, exactly what do you need to do to make all controls get the new colors? Please provide some pseudo code :)

I remember I called some "Redraw all children" function, but that didn't work for certain panes etc. Then I removed all code, and it worked... until I switched to Vista and upgrade from XTP 11.2.2...

I know one of the samples does this, but it's not a complete solution. Any ideas on how to do this optimally?

Hi,

Automatically change theme you can do only with SkinFramework. Without you have manually replace classes to CXTP versions and change themes.

I'm talking about the ribbon-colors here. Not using the SkinFramework for that...

Hi,

You have to change controls to CXTP version then.

You're not following me here. All my controls are CXTP. I have an SDI-ribbon application with all four Office 2007-colors (like in your sample). The problem is that my pane managers and its panes (CXTPReportControl etc) are not updated when I change the color theme (Blue, Aqua, Black or Silver).

Hi,

Most easy way to update colors is to set 2007 theme again for each control.

I got it working for all controls, except CXTPReportControl. I have to click on them to get the updated look! Why?

void CMainFrame::OnOptionsStyle(UINT ID)

{

...

XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hModule, strIniFile));

GetCommandBars()->GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();
GetCommandBars()->RecalcFrameLayout();

m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

// Tab control is correctly updated!

m_wndTab.GetPaintManager()->SetColor(xtpTabColorOffice2007);
m_wndTab.Invalidate();

// Report control is not updated until clicked!

     if (m_paneReport.GetSafeHwnd())
    {
        m_paneReport.GetPaintManager()->SetColumnStyle(xtpReportColumnOffice2007);
        m_paneReport.Invalidate();
    }

m_paneManager.RedrawPanes();

    SendMessage(WM_NCPAINT);

    RedrawWindow(0, 0, RDW_ALLCHILDREN | RDW_INVALIDATE);

}

XTP 13. Vista Pro.
