is this a known issue or am i doing anything wrong?

all i do is

COLORREF col = RGB(255,0,0);
pRibbonTab->SetColor(col);

but nothing happens.
i also called GetColor() before and after setting the color. when it is called the first time GetColor() returns 0x000000ff after setting it and something else before (some gray value). after the first call it returns 0x000000ff before setting the new color again, just as expected. i also called RedrawControl() but that doesn't change a thing.

using v13.4 of XTP.

hope anyone can help.

Hello,

You can only use standard colors from Office -

pRibbonBar->SetContextColor

and

xtpRibbonTabContextColorNone, // Default color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorBlue, // Blue context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorYellow, // Yellow context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorGreen, // Green context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorRed, // Red context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorPurple, // Purple context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorCyan, // Cyan context color

xtpRibbonTabContextColorOrange // Orange context color
