Menus stuck on xtpThemeNativeWinXP (2nd attempt)

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

   Hello All
I have a CommandBars XML file for which I cannot get the Visual Style of the menus in the main menu bar to change. They are permanently stuck on the xtpThemeNativeWinXP style. I have tried changing the style in both code and in the Command Bars Designer (see image) but neither seems to work. The Visual Style for everything else seems to change properly e.g. title bar, toolbars etc. Even the right-click Context Menu seems OK. It is just the menus in the top menu bar that don't work.

The following image shows what I mean. The Visual Style is set to xtpThemeRibbon and everything is OK apart from the top menus:

Any ideas??

Regards
Mark

P.S. I am using v13.0.0.0, although the CommandBars XML file was created in a previous version.

	Thanks Oleg - that worked! A bit odd though - what does "Show Gripper" mean in this context? Regards Mark
