Ok, so I create all controls first, then set the theme..

Maybe you should add that when a control is created, it should set its theme to what is currently set as a default theme.

You can use your top level window to send a WM_XTP_SETCONTROLTHEME message to all Controls objects like Buttons, Edit, etc that will allow you to make a single call.  We will be adding this functionality to remaining classes as well in the near future.

XTPThemeDLL()->SetHandle(xtpIniVisualStudio2015Light);
SendMessageToDescendants(WM_XTP_SETCONTROLTHEME, xtpControlThemeVisualStudio2015);
RedrawWindow(0, 0, RDW_ALLCHILDREN|RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_ERASE);

Yeah, it would be so much better if it was possible to set a theme for the whole application.]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2016 09:30:30 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22836&PID=74282&title=one-theme-for-all-controls#74282 <![CDATA[One theme for all controls? : I fully understand your frustration....]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22836&PID=74280&title=one-theme-for-all-controls#74280 Author: cpede

I fully understand your frustration. Just look at the samples, how many time SetTheme, SetStyle etc. are called.

I wrote a similar question in: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22449

I really hope CodeJock consider this.

Is there a way to set one theme for the app (say VS2015) and then all controls uses that theme or do I have to set the theme for every single control, like report control, pane manager, task panels etc? Sounds very inconvenient that that's the case!

I tried
XTPThemeDLL()->SetHandle(xtpIniVisualStudio2015Dark);
CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeVisualStudio2015);

in OnCreate, before any other control is created, but that does just change the theme for ribbons and the frame, but all controls in the app have a different theme..
