Ribbon handles its own "skins" not the skin framework.  See the ribbon sample.]]> Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:22:21 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71349&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71349 <![CDATA[Ribbon not Skinning : Ok, sorry to be slow but I&#039;m...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71337&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71337 Author: jcollier

Ok, sorry to be slow but I'm confused.

Here is my code to load the skin (in a sub):

SkinFramework.LoadSkin appath + "Office2007.cjstyles", ""
SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = SkinFramework.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics
SkinFramework.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd

After this I set up the ribbon bar in a separate sub. I've tried adding the following to the end of the sub with no luck:

CommandBars.PaintManager.RefreshMetrics
CommandBars.RecalcLayout

You have to make sure that you set all the properties of the CommandBar and RibbonBar objects after you have added the CommandBarControls. Thereafter, it is necessary to perform the "PaintManager.RefreshMetrics" and "RecalcLayout" functions.]]> Sat, 06 Jul 2013 03:32:37 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71315&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71315 <![CDATA[Ribbon not Skinning : You need to set the style before...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71285&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71285 Author: SuperMario

You need to set the style before setting the theme.]]> Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:48:15 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71285&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71285 <![CDATA[Ribbon not Skinning : I just upgraded from 15.2.1 to...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21764&PID=71284&title=ribbon-not-skinning#71284 Author: jcollier

I just upgraded from 15.2.1 to 16.2.0 and now the ribbon bar I have is not skinning. No matter what skin I choose, it's black. All I can see are the buttons. Uploaded screenshots will show what I'm talking about. I haven't been able to figure out what code I need to change to fix it. I've put the new style files into the proper location but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
