Hi,

We're currently facing an issue using the Codejock CommandBars (v17.2.0) with any of the Office2013 or VS2015 themes.

As soon as we enable one of those themes, a Windows Hook in our application of type https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644959%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#wh_callwndproc_wh_callwndprocret" rel="nofollow -

CommandBars.EnableOffice2007Frame(false);
CommandBars.AllowFrameTransparency(false);
CommandBars.EnableOffice2007Frame(true);

After switching back to another theme, it works fine again. This issue can be reproduced in the RibbonSample solution aswell.

Does anyone have a solution or hint for this?
Thank you!

Hi, it can be a conflict with frame shadow, please try to call XTPFrameShadowManager()->SetFlags(xtpFrameShadowsDisabled) before any window is created and see if it helps. If it does work then you can use this as a temporary workaround while the actual fix is added.

Thank you.

Regards,

Alexander
