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

   I have updated a simple vb6 project to codejock rel 18.
The code have a simple ribbon bar and with codejock rel 15 it works with a nice blue ribbonbar, updating to commandbar control to rel 18 the ribbon is black.

What's wrong ?

the code to create the ribbonbar is the following, simply create a vb6 form put a commandbar control inside it and copy the following code in the form load event:

    Dim MyRibbonBar As RibbonBar
    Dim RibTab As RibbonTab
    Dim RibGroup As RibbonGroup
    Dim Control As CommandBarControl

    'create a ribbonbar
    Set MyRibbonBar = CommandBars.AddRibbonBar("The Ribbon")
    MyRibbonBar.EnableDocking xtpFlagStretched

    'create a tab
    Set RibTab = MyRibbonBar.InsertTab(0, "&TestTab")

    'create a group
    Set RibGroup = RibTab.Groups.AddGroup("FirstGroup", 1)
    RibGroup.Caption = "FirstGroup"

    'create a control	
    Set Control = RibGroup.Add(xtpControlButton, 100, "FirstButton", -1, False)
'    Control.BeginGroup = BeginGroup
    Control.DescriptionText = "FirstButton"
    Control.Style = 0 'ButtonStyle
    Control.Category = "controls" 'Category

    'refresh ribbonbar	
    MyRibbonBar.RecalcLayout

Thanks a lot

	I confirm this problem (using 16.4 and 18.2 versions) With 15.3 works fine.
