We're trying to implement the Ribbon Bar in our applications and would like the Dialogs that appear to have the same Office 2007 look.

Do I have to learn how to implement Skins and if so can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

You need skins.

Try something like:

SkinFramework.LoadSkin App.Path + _

XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(_T("..\..\..\Styles\WinXP.Luna.cjstyles"),

_T("NormalBlue.ini"));

XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows(FALSE);

XTPSkinManager()->ApplyWindow(pWnd->GetSafeHwnd());

A simple call to LoadSkin worked perfectly, thanks.

Unfortunately, this has got us excited about using Skins and I can't see a way of changing the Ribbon to match the loaded skin.

Do I need to call a function to apply the skin to the MainFrame, maybe with a call like XTPSkinManager()->ApplyWindow(afxGetMainWnd())?
