I've looked at the function and implemented it in the Program. The system doesn't compile though, because DialogSample is derived from CXTPDialogBase. My modal dialogs are all derived from CXTPFrameWnd, thus, I have no acces to the function Offset. I've commented it out, unsure of whether this would effect the outcome of the function.

The result was that the problem is still there. Is the Offset function important (I assume it is, it would not be there if it wasn't)?

Thanks!

Hi,

If this is a dialog, look into the DialogSample, function
RepositionControls.

else
look for correct base codejock classes.

Hi!

After toying around with the Theme of our application, I stumbled against the following problem:

Our software uses modal frames for Human-Computer Interfacing. After applying the theme of Visual Studio 2005 to the main frame, I'd like all the modal frames to have the same type of menu-bar, in stead of the old MFC-style menu bars.

However, these modal frames are given their menu's after creation, and dynamically, so no resource_ID can be used. I've noticed the LoadMenu function, and applied it. This seems to work. A Visual Studio 2005 themed menu is added to the application.

The only problem is that the menu is only visible when the mouse hovers over it.

The image above shows it.

I've done InitCommandBars(); in the onCreate of the frame. In our own setMenu function, i:

CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->GetMenuBar();
pMenuBar->LoadMenu(&menu, true);
pMenuBar->SetFlags(xtpFlagIgnoreSetMenuMessage);

Does anyone know why the menu doesn't appear normally? Did I not implement it correctly? Am i missing something?

Thanks in advance.
