I Created a dialog, then embed in the ribbon bar, but it looks ugly compared to other ctrls on the ribbon bar.
Even I tried the dialog's fuctions:OnCtlColor and OnEraseBkgnd,I cannot managed to make it exactly like other ctrls on the ribbon.

I have not used it but there is a CXTPDialogBar. It has a SetMenuBar method that takes a command bar object in which you can insert CJ controls. You may want to add a CJ combo box and control buttons to it.
 
There is also a CXTPDialog (same base class I believe as the dialog bar and has the SetMenuBar method on it).
 
I'm not sure if you can set a theme or a paint manager. Perhaps the dialog will obtain one from the ribbon.
 
Alternatively you can do your own painting by getting hold of the theme colors CJ uses to paint the background and/or controls. But it is much easier to use the CJ ones when you can.
 
I wonder what happens if you try to add your control to the QAT?

You'd have to use the SkinFramework for this.

Yes, there is!
 
XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hSkinModule, _T("OFFICE2007BLUE.INI")); // hSkinModule is my DLL with the CJ skin
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlue.ini"));
