Skin and CXTPToolbar in a dialog

   Does CXTPToolbar supports skin when it is used in a dialog box ?

I made a simple test in the sample "SkinControls"
I added a CXTPToolBar in top of the dialog box.

//SkinControls.h
CXTPToolBar   m_toolBar;

//SkinControls.cpp

static UINT auIDToolBar[]=
{
 ID_FILE_NEW,
 ID_FILE_OPEN,
 ID_FILE_SAVE
};

BOOL CSkinControlsDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
 CDialog::OnInitDialog();

//at the end of OnInitDialog I added few lines

m_toolBar.CreateToolBar( TBSTYLE_FLAT|TBSTYLE_TRANSPARENT|TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS
        |WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CBRS_ALIGN_TOP
        ,this
       );
 m_toolBar.SetButtons(auIDToolBar, sizeof(auIDToolBar)/sizeof(UINT));
 RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST,0);
 CRect rcToolBar(0,0, 150, 30);
 m_toolBar.MoveWindow(&rcToolBar);
}

When i run the sample my new toolbar is not modified when i change theme (vista for example).

what's wrong with my code ?

	hI, you have to set theme XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeNativeWinXP);

	If i put this line in the constructor of CSkinControlsDlg just before calling XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions, nothing changes. If i put this line in the constructor of CSkinControlsDlg just after XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin, the toolbar is drawn black.

	My problem is resolved. I derive CSkinControlsDlg from CXTPDialog and i call InitCommandBars() in OnInitdialog and it works!!!

	I have a similar problem (although using an older version of Suite Pro, v9.5.1) >XTPPaintManager()->SetTheme(xtpThemeNativeWinXP); I did, but some of the toolbars aren't shown with the 3d look I'm expecting (I mean the gradient, metallic background for menus that is default on Vista, see e.g. Notepad). I'm usint CXTPToolBar and CXTPMenubar, the top toolbar and the menu have a plain lightblue colour instead of the expected one. I also have some toolbars on docking panes, that are themed correctly if they're at the top, but not if they're at the bottom. Thanks in advance

	Resolved now, using a custom CXTPReBarPaintManager object as the theme
