 Topic: Skin + Ribbonbar + Vista: problem and solutionPosted: 26 October 2007 at 12:42pm |

My app uses both the ribbon bar and skins. Everything worked fine under XP but with Vista there was strange behavior with the frame and status bar. The key was to not use EnableFrameTheme on the ribbonbar. Everything now works under both XP & Vista. However the applications title bar and open/close buttons are now located above the ribbonbar quick access controls.

Hi,
Try call XTPSkinFramework()->Remove(m_hWnd) for CMainFrame window.

I assume you mean XTPSkinManager()->Remove(m_hWnd). Using this and then pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme() in my CMainFrame::OnCreate method helps buts doesn't fully solve the problem.
This image shows the application under vista. You see that there is still a title bar instead of having the controls inserted into the ribbon bar. However, there are no problems using the application.
 This next image is the same code running under XP. It is a little hard to see, but there is now a gray border around the application, however the Frames title bar is no longer visiable and the frames controls are in the ribbon bar.
 This last image is without using the XTPSkinManager()->Remove(m_hWnd) under XP. You see the gray border is no longer present. This code causes lots of problems under Vista.

Oleg,
Attached is the modified project based on your RibbonSample. I only changed 2 files, MainFrm.cpp and RibbonSample.rc2. If you do a search with "// skin modified" you will find the changes I made. This project duplicates all the issues I raised in previous posts.
I did change the project configuration to statically link to the MFC libraries because I got a side by side error when trying to run under Vista.

Hi,
just move XTPSkinManager()->Remove(m_hWnd) in the beginning of OnCreate and better LoadSkin move to constructor.
