Topic: Applying a theme to the whole interface

Looking at the samples, it's not clear to me what the recommended and/or easiest way one should use to apply a theme (e.g. xtpThemeVisualStudio2015) to the whole UI (Main Frame, Ribbon, Toolbars, Panes, Status Bar, ...).

For example, if I add the following line

XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeVisualStudio2015);

as the end of my CMainFrame::OnCreate() method, my program now asserts (ASSERT(NULL != m_pGroupNormal)) on XTRibbonMarkupTheme.cpp#548 whereas it was running fine without it.

Anyone cares shedding some light on this whole topic of theming mechanism in the toolkit?

Thanks a lot!

Version 18.0.1 on Windows 10 w/ VS 2017.3 and SDK 8.1

Hello yves,

About assertion - I can suppose that you forgot to call SetHandle() before SetTheme()

XTPResourceImages()->SetHandle(hModule, lpszINI);

For example look at RibbonMDISample
CMainFrame::OnOptionsStyle() > CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme()
