Topic: Trouble getting theme w/ XTKPDialog
Posted: 14 September 2007 at 6:37pm

I'm porting a legacy app to XMTP. I'm very happy with the progress I've made - had a ribbon SDI version of the app up in a matter of days.

One lingering problem: my dialogs are not "styled". My dialog inherits CXTPDialogBase<CXTResizeDialog>, and sets the Office 2007 style (se below).

Any guesses as to what I'm missing?

TIA

BOOL CCurvesDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
    {
        HICON h = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME);
        SetIcon(h, true);
        SetIcon(h, false);
    }
    CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2007);
...
}

Hello,

Do you want Office2007 captiopn ?

if so, change

class CCurvesDialog : public CDialogBase

class CCurvesDialog : public CDialogBase, CXTPOffice2007FrameHook

and add

EnableOffice2007Frame(this, XPTPaintManger());

after you set theme.

don't forget add Office2007 bitmaps to your rc2 file.

I changed the inheritance and added the rc file, and changed OnInitDialog similar to your suggestion as shown below.

I had to do a variation on your suggestion, using the static method CreateTheme() to create the PaintManager object.

With this change, the dialog is blank, a caption and gray background, but no controls:

   CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2007);
    CXTPPaintManager *pmgr = CXTPPaintManager::CreateTheme(xtpThemeOffice2007);
    EnableOffice2007Frame(this, pmgr);
