I found a partial workaround by setting the recent filelist visual theme in the form paint event.  This makes the mouseover highlight work, but the recent filelist control still always has a white background no matter what the visual theme, so I've had to set the rest of the form to white background, and the separators to white background manually instead of applying the theme.

I notice this hasn't been fixed in CommandBars ActiveX v18.3; when will it be fixed please?

I notice that you've implemented UseShellIcons in CommandBars ActiveX v18.3.  But it doesn't seem to work (try your own demo example).  For the moment, I've written my own workaround using SHGetFileInfo and adding icons to an ImageManager control.

when do you estimate the fix will be available?  I'd like this to be working properly prior to releasing the next version of my app, which is nearly ready.

I have checked this and can say that  in 2015 year was added option to manage of loading shell icons due to performance reason. But this option wasn't shared to ActiveX version of library. Also this behavior have changed to forbids shell icons by default. I will add SetUseShellIcon(bool)  to BackstagePageRecent and to XTPGalleryListBox.

Thank you for information Smile]]> Sat, 20 Jan 2018 14:52:47 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23547&PID=76501&title=solved-no-shell-icons-on-ribbon-recentfiles-page#76501 <![CDATA[[solved] no shell icons on ribbon RecentFiles Page : hmm.

hmm. That topic seems to be about adding custom icons to the BackstageFileListBox.  So are you saying that it doesn't automatically use the Windows default icons as in Explorer any more?

If I run the VB6 RibbonSample provided with CommandBars v16.4.0 and using the Office 2013 theme I get this...


If I run the same sample provided with CommandBars v18.2.0 with the Office 2013 theme I get this...



So
1. the theme isn't working
2. it's not picking up the Windows-defined filetype icons

These are the Codejock supplied samples with no modifications whatsoever.

There's still an issue with the BackstageListBox (for a recent file list) though - it fails to pick up any of the themes (not just the office 2016 one) and it fails to show the appropriate icon associated with the file type.  Codejock's own examples (VB RibbonSample) don't work either as from v17.1.0, though v16.4.0 does work.  For example, try the Visual Studio 2015 dark theme in Codejock's examples, and you'll see what I mean.  So this appears to be a bug that's been around for a couple of years Cry.

I have fixed this bug in some recent versions, just upgrade library.]]> Sat, 20 Jan 2018 09:17:21 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23547&PID=76495&title=solved-no-shell-icons-on-ribbon-recentfiles-page#76495
