Hi as you can see on the image below, we have a problem with AERO enabled. With windows7 is possible disable the windows theme into the compatibility settings, but in windows8 this option has been removed, so we have this problem with the new OS. We have already test the "Call SkinFramework.DisableWindows(Me.hWnd)" as suggested into developer forum, but the problem still present. There is other option/settings for solve our problem?

This problem occurs when you have the wrong combination of "EnableThemeframe" and ".VisualTheme = xtpThemeResource" ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) 16.2.5 Platform: XP / Windows 7 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hello, thanks for the reply. We have search into our code, but we don't find nothing strange. We use the standard "xtpThemeRibbon" for the VisualTheme of the ribbon bar, and we call the EnableFrameTheme before show. We have noticed the problem only on form with the SetParent, if we avoid that call, all seems ok. Any suggestion? We have try also with the last release of the codejock Thanks

Hi. I've already the same problem and I can't find the solution.To reply this problem si very simple: Open the VB6 RibbonMDISample, add a new non MDI form (called frmTest), at the top of the frmMain code page, add the following line Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long on the Form_Load of the frmMain add the following code Dim objFrm As frmTest Set objFrm = New frmTest Call SetParent(objFrm.hwnd, Me.hwnd) objFrm.Show if you use some style with alpha channel (eg Office 2010 style) the problem occour. for now I've solved using
.AllowFrameTransparency(False) ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 15.1.2 Platform: Windows 7 SP 1 (64bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 - SP6 |
