What is the best way to catch a minimize event for the ribbon? I'm using the Office 2007 Black theme for the ribbon and when the ribbon is minimized, the currently selected tab maintains the same black text color, which is hard to see on the dark gray background. I would like to deselect all tabs when the ribbon is minimized so the tab's captions appear with the default unselected tab's white text color.

Thanks,
Jason

Hello,

Yes, thanks, we agree this problem with 12.0 release.

You can replace CRibbonColorSet class to fix it:

class CXTPRibbonTheme::CRibbonColorSet : public CXTPTabPaintManager::CColorSetOffice2003
{
protected:
void RefreshMetrics()
{
CColorSetOffice2003::RefreshMetrics();
}

void SetTextColor(CDC* pDC, CXTPTabManagerItem* pItem)
{
  CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = ((CXTPRibbonTab*)pItem)->GetRibbonBar();

  BOOL bSelected = pItem->IsSelected();
  BOOL bHighlighted = pItem->IsHighlighted();
  BOOL bFocused = pItem->IsFocused();

  if (bSelected && pRibbonBar->IsRibbonMinimized())
  {
   CXTPRibbonControlTab* pControlTab = (CXTPRibbonControlTab*)pItem->GetTabManager();
   if (pControlTab->GetCommandBar() && pControlTab->GetCommandBar()->IsTrackingMode())
   {
    bFocused = bHighlighted = FALSE;
   }
   else if (pControlTab->GetSelected() && bFocused)
   {
    bFocused = bSelected = FALSE;
    bHighlighted = TRUE;
   }
   else
   {
    bFocused = bSelected = FALSE;
   }
  }

pDC->SetTextColor(!pItem->IsEnabled() ? m_clrDisabledText: bSelected ? m_clrSelectedText: bHighlighted ? m_clrHighlightText : m_clrNormalText);
}

};

This worked great! Thanks.

I implemented the fix, but I hope to see it in the next Codejock release too.
