Application Menu support

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

   Hi all,

I'm using SKinframework to skin my MFC application. It's working excellently. All our buttons, frames and other GUI objects are correctly painted in their Whidbey theme. 

Except our application menu's....

We're using 12.1 and since then, the application menu's have become visible again, but still show the old school mfc appearance. 

Our main application menu is skinned completely correct. It opens up new modal dialogs (based on CXTPFrameWnd) which receive a SetMenu(CMenu & menu) call after being created. Due to our architecture, we can't call this before create...

I'd thought about simply replacing the application menu's with CXTPMenuBar and going from there, but CXTPMenuBar doesn't seem to have a SetMenu with a CMenu reference, only one with a resourceID (which feels like a rather big omission in my [very] humble opinion). 

As it is, the menu's (and right-click context menu's by the way) don't display the look and feel we're trying to convey with our new application, making our modal screens (90% of our application) feel off..

Thanks in advance,

Bob

	the contextmenu the application menu. In the background, you'll see our application's Toolbar/Menubar. This was done with CXTPToolBar and CXTPMenuBar.
