Catching the minimize event for the ribbon

 

Yes, thanks, we agree this problem with 12.0 release.

 

You can replace CRibbonColorSet  class to fix it:

 

class CXTPRibbonTheme::CRibbonColorSet : public CXTPTabPaintManager::CColorSetOffice2003
{
protected:
 void RefreshMetrics()
 {
  CColorSetOffice2003::RefreshMetrics();
 }

 void SetTextColor(CDC* pDC, CXTPTabManagerItem* pItem)
 {
  CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = ((CXTPRibbonTab*)pItem)->GetRibbonBar();
  
  BOOL bSelected = pItem->IsSelected();
  BOOL bHighlighted = pItem->IsHighlighted();
  BOOL bFocused = pItem->IsFocused();

  if (bSelected && pRibbonBar->IsRibbonMinimized())
  {
   CXTPRibbonControlTab* pControlTab =  (CXTPRibbonControlTab*)pItem->GetTabManager();
   if (pControlTab->GetCommandBar() && pControlTab->GetCommandBar()->IsTrackingMode())
   {
    bFocused = bHighlighted = FALSE;
   }
   else if (pControlTab->GetSelected() && bFocused)
   {
    bFocused = bSelected = FALSE;
    bHighlighted = TRUE;
   }
   else
   {
    bFocused = bSelected = FALSE;
   }
  }

  pDC->SetTextColor(!pItem->IsEnabled() ? m_clrDisabledText: bSelected ? m_clrSelectedText: bHighlighted ? m_clrHighlightText : m_clrNormalText);
 }

};
