 Topic: Applying Themes to DialogsPosted: 01 February 2007 at 6:07am |

Hi All,
I've started converting an existing VC6 application to use the Ribbon Bar. So far so good.
 The problem is that now, that the dialog boxes that are displayed look dated and old compared to the new interface. So my question is, is there an easy way to apply the current theme to any dialog or property sheet?
If so how would I go about it..
Many thanks
Wayne

Hi, The SkinFramework looks good. But will it work with the Ribbon theme and the themes it has, I.E. Blue, Black, Silver, Aqua ?
Thanks

Firstly thanks for replying..
Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean, do you have a code fragment?

Ok, did some searching.. Now understand a bit more :D
I have to use the following:
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(pTheme->strResourcePath, pThemeInfo->csIniFileName);
Is there anyway that the Styles can be loaded from a resource instead of a file?

Add #include "SkinFramework\Styles\Office2007\Office2007.rc" to your .rc2 file. You may have to add ...\Source\SkinFramework\Styles\Office2007 to your source directories. Then load the skin from your executable: CString sExeName = AfxGetApp()->m_pszExeName; sExeName += _T(".exe"); LoadSkin (sExeName, ...) |

I have a problem with applying themes to dialogs, so I figured this was the best thread to post...
I have a dialog running in a CFormView running great except that whenever I right click on a CEdit, the menu that comes up is the old and outdated style. The menu is the default one that just has Cut/Copy/Paste/etc. I'd rather not have to override the menu popup w/ my own because this issue is in every CEdit in my application. Any suggestions? OK, I just looked and the same unskinned popup menu shows up for the CEdit's that are embedded into CXTPPropertyGrid too. |

Hi
Just a thought, why isn't there an example of how to incorporate skins and ribbonbars.. Think it would help a lot of newbies..
