Office 2013 Theme - Shadow - Codejock Developer Community

Hello Mikhail,

FrameShadows are turned on with calling CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableFrameTheme(). Differences between these two samples in methods CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme().

> ToolkitPro1800UD.dll!CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableShadow() Line 1387 C++

ToolkitPro1800UD.dll!CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableFrameTheme(CXTPCommandBars * pCommandBars) Line 383 C++

ToolkitPro1800UD.dll!CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableOffice2007Frame(CXTPCommandBars * pCommandBars) Line 404 C++

ToolkitPro1800UD.dll!CXTPCommandBars::EnableFrameTheme(int bEnable) Line 2341 C++

ToolkitPro1800UD.dll!CXTPRibbonBar::EnableFrameTheme(int bEnable) Line 427 C++

RibbonControls.exe!CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme(XTPPaintTheme paintTheme, HINSTANCE__ * hModule, const wchar_t * lpszINI) Line 1049 C++

Old themes don't have FrameShadows and pFramePaintManager->CreateShadow(GetSite()); in method CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableShadow() returns NULL. So default Ribbon has theme office2007 without frameShadow. But on setting Office2013 theme and enabling "FrameTheme" option again in CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableFrameTheme() method exits on begining

void CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::EnableFrameTheme(CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars){
    BOOL bEnabled = pCommandBars != NULL;
    if (m_bThemeFrameEnabled == bEnabled)
        return;
    ....    if (pCommandBars)
    {
        ....
        EnableShadow();
    }
    else
    {
        DisableFrameTheme();
    }
}

That is why to enable shadows we need to disable "FrameTheme" and then enable again as in CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme() method of RibbonControls sample.

void CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme(XTPPaintTheme paintTheme, HMODULE hModule/*=NULL*/, LPCTSTR lpszINI/*=NULL*/){
    CXTPCommandBarsFrameHook::m_bAllowDwm = !(CXTPWinDwmWrapper().IsCompositionEnabled() && (xtpThemeOffice2013 == paintTheme || xtpThemeOffice2007System == paintTheme));
    CXTPRibbonBar *pRibbonBar = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBar, GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar());
    pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme(FALSE);

    CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();
    if (pCommandBars != NULL)
    {
        if (hModule != NULL && lpszINI != NULL)
        {
            XTPResourceImages()->SetHandle(hModule, lpszINI);
            CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(paintTheme);
        }
        else if(paintTheme == xtpThemeOfficeXP) // System theme
        {
            CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(paintTheme);
        }
        
        pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme(TRUE);
    }
}

In RibbonSample:

void CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme(XTPPaintTheme paintTheme, LPCTSTR lpszINI/*=NULL*/){
    ....
    if (!m_bOverrideAllowDwm)
    {
        m_bAllowDwm = (XTPSystemVersion()->IsWin10OrGreater() ? FALSE
            : !(CXTPWinDwmWrapper().IsCompositionEnabled()
                && (xtpThemeOffice2013 == paintTheme || xtpThemeVisualStudio2015 == paintTheme)));
    }
    else
    {
        pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme(FALSE);
    }
    ....
        CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(paintTheme);
    ....
    pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme(m_bEnableFrameTheme);
    ....
}
