Hi everyone,

I'm trying to dynamically load the CommandBars control. For this I used the same example that comes with version 17, I removed the controls at design time, and then instantiate at runtime with:

Set CommandBars = Me.Controls.Add("Codejock.CommandBars.17.1.0", "CommandBars")

The problem is that dynamically loading background images are not loaded

What am I doing wrong?

Hello aldog,

I suppose you forgot to load VisualStudio2015.dll before setting theme VisualStudio2015 (or other DLL for other theme)

  CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ResourceImages.LoadFromFile App.Path & "\..\..\..\Styles\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015Blue.ini"
  CommandBars.VisualTheme = xtpThemeVisualStudio2015

You can explore our sample
c:\Program Files (x86)\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v17.1.0\Samples\CommandBars\VB\RibbonSample
to see how set different themes in v17.1.

In file frmMain.frm look for methods CreateRibbonBar, SetStyle, SetCommandbarsTheme and other.

Regards,
Oleksandr Lebed

I've gotten it to work, but the object does not assume the skin

 Set CommandBars = Me.Controls.Add("Codejock.CommandBars.17.1.0", "CommandBars")
            
    LoadIcons
    CreateActions
    CreateRibbonBar
    
    FontSizes(0) = 0
    FontSizes(1) = 11
    FontSizes(2) = 13
    FontSizes(3) = 16
    
    
CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ResourceImages.LoadFromFile "C:\Program Files (x86)\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v17.1.0 (30 Day Trial)" & _
                                                    "\Samples\Styles\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015Blue.ini"
CommandBars.VisualTheme = xtpThemeVisualStudio2015


SetCommandbarsTheme xtpThemeOffice2013, App.Path & "\..\..\..\Styles\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015.ini"
ControlFile.Style = xtpButtonCaption

'CreateBackstageView
CommandBars.PaintManager.RefreshMetrics
CommandBars.RecalcLayout

Dynamically load:

Design time load

SetCommandbarsTheme xtpThemeOffice2013, App.Path & "\..\..\..\Styles\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015.ini"

SetCommandbarsTheme xtpThemeVisualStudio2015, App.Path & "\..\..\..\Styles\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015.ini"

Also skins and themes are different technologies which have problems with compatibility.

Screenshot under "Dynamically load:" - looks like Dark Gray Office2013 theme from file Office2013WordDarkGray.ini
