Hi,

can I enable highlighting of backstage commands when I use the Office 2013 theme and the mouse moves over a command?

Seems a bit unresponsive without that. With Office 2010 or 2007 themes the commands get highlighted.

VC++ 2010 with 16.3.1 and 2015 with 17.0 RC behave the same.

This is how I add commands:

CXTPRibbonBackstageView* pView = CXTPRibbonBackstageView::CreateBackstageView(GetCommandBars());

...

CXTPRibbonBackstageCommand *pCmd = pView->AddCommand(ID_SOME_COMMAND);

Side note: I call SetCaption and SetPrompt on the pCmd if I have translated command texts.

Can I do anything to make the commands responsive to the mouse moving over them?

Regards

SvenC

Hi SvenC,

Did you mean this highlighting ?

Yes. And the code fragment worked:

CXTPPaintManager *pPM = pCommandBars->GetPaintManager();

XTPPaintTheme nPaintTheme = pPM->GetCurrentTheme();

CXTPRibbonBackstageView *pView = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageView, pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->GetCommandBar());

if(pView)

pView->SetTheme(nPaintTheme);

Thank you

Sven
