Ribbon + Vista skin?

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

   I believe this has been asked before, but I can't get it working!
I have a ribbon-application with dialog-panes where I want Vista-styled GUI components. This is my rc2-file:

#include <XTToolkitPro.rc>

#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Aqua\Office2007Aqua.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Black\Office2007Black.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Silver\Office2007Silver.rc"
#include "SkinFramework\Styles\Vista\Vista.rc"

In CMainFrame::CMainFrame() I call: 
XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(AfxGetInstanceHandle());

The problem is that the dialogs are not skinned! However, if I load the skin via LoadSkin() it works:
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin("vista.cjstyles");

Please help! I do not want this external DLL. Also note that I'm using Xtreme Toolkit Pro v11.2.2.

	Both dialog background and controls. Also, the pane tabs look different, if I recall correctly.

	Hi, Use these lines: XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(AfxGetInstanceHandle()); XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NORMALBLUE.INI"));
