Refresh Theme Change

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When changing the colour of the office 2007 theme, the commandbars has the method refreshmetrics to repaint the controls with the new colour set, how can you obtain the same functionality with the DockingPaneManager, TabControl and PropertyGrid???? You can change the colour set with the office2007imges property but i cannot get these controls to repaint themselves with the new colour set, apart from restarting the program.

	Try setting the visualtheme of the control, this in essence repaints the control. for example; tabmanager1.PaintManager.Appearance = xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage2007 regards,

	Call the RecalcLayout() method... the control will refresh/repaint itself..
