Somehow i managed with the following code... Is it correct?

CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(  xtpThemeOfficeXP);
 COLORREF  ref = XTPColorManager()->GetColor(COLOR_MENUTEXT  );
 XTPColorManager()->SetColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT ,ref);
 XTPColorManager()->SetColor(XPCOLOR_MENUBAR_TEXT&nb sp; ,ref);

 XTPPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();
 GetCommandBars()->RedrawCommandBars();

May be you use custom theme and don't call base member in RefreshMetrics?

Must. Check this in our samples.

If i change the system menu color, it does not change the menu color of my application. Why does it happen? Anysolution to this.

I am using OnSYsColorChange() event and tried with

XTPColorManager()->RefreshColors();
XTPPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

but none of these functions change the color of the menu. Pl. suggest.
