Pane in child frame not updated

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

   When I change ribbon style (aqua, black etc), I update the main frame as shown in the MDI Ribbon sample. However, my panes in my child frames are not updated. I understand the reason for this, but I want to solve this elegantly. Please help me out!

I have this in CMainFrame:

ON_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_OPTIONS_STYLEBLUE, ID_OPTIONS_STYLEAQUA, OnOptionsStyle)

I thought this would update the pane in my child frame, but it does not:

CWnd *pWnd = CWnd::FromHandle(m_hWndMDIClient)->GetWindow(GW_CHILD);
while (pWnd)
{
    pWnd->RedrawWindow(0, 0, RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_UPDATENOW | RDW_ERASE | RDW_ALLCHILDREN);
    pWnd = pWnd->GetWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT);
}

Q: How do I explicitly tell my child frame to tell the pane manager to update its metrics?

	Him You must call RefreshMetrics: m_paneManager.GetPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

	Yes, I know that. The question is; how do I tell all my child frames to make that call (I have pane managers in other frames than main)? My current solution is to send a user-defined message, UWM_REFRESHMETRICS, which I send to all child frames. However, I do not like that solution. Isn't there built-in support for this? Some WM_XTP-message perhaps? Thanks for your response!
