Thanks, Oleg. The project is a bit large to attach to a post, but this leads to a good idea: I should do a small MDI ribbon project with a non-modal dialog, and see if the themes work in that scenario. I'll try (beta schedule permitting) do that in the next several days.

In the meantime, I've been using the XTKP source and samples as my main source of documentation, stepping through functions to see how they work, as well as reading any materials I can glean from the site and help file. Am I missing any large pieces of man-page-style documentation? Is there a big fat Petzold or Prosise style book on XTKP?

Thanks again for your help.

I changed the inheritance and added the rc file, and changed OnInitDialog similar to your suggestion as shown below.

I had to do a variation on your suggestion, using the static method CreateTheme() to create the PaintManager object.

With this change, the dialog is blank, a caption and gray background, but no controls:

   CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2007);
    CXTPPaintManager *pmgr = CXTPPaintManager::CreateTheme(xtpThemeOffice2007);
    EnableOffice2007Frame(this, pmgr);

Hello,

Do you want Office2007 captiopn ?

if so, change

class CCurvesDialog : public CDialogBase

class CCurvesDialog : public CDialogBase, CXTPOffice2007FrameHook

and add

EnableOffice2007Frame(this, XPTPaintManger());

after you set theme.

don't forget add Office2007 bitmaps to your rc2 file.

I'm porting a legacy app to XMTP. I'm very happy with the progress I've made - had a ribbon SDI version of the app up in a matter of days.

One lingering problem: my dialogs are not "styled". My dialog inherits CXTPDialogBase, and sets the Office 2007 style (se below).

Any guesses as to what I'm missing?

TIA
