I'm trying to get a consistent theme throughout my application (Whidbey) and so far have only been able to get the docking panes and menus to work.  For example, my dialog (all derived from CTXResizeDialog) buttons are the standard MFC style and even the toolbar customization dialog (I used your code to the line...) comes up looking like this:

instead of this (from your sample...):

Questions:

  • Do I have to override each button with your CXTButton class?
  • What is the basic procedure to make sure general UI elements have the correct theme?

I'm sorry for the obviously dumb question since I couldn't find the answer on the forums or by looking at the samples.

PS - Here is the OnCreate() and OnCustomize() code from MainFrm.cpp, the vast majority of which is lifted from your samples.
