I have am changing my application to use the Office2007.dll and Office2013.dll theme using the following code:

XTPThemeDLL()->SetHandle(xtpIniOffice2007Blue);

CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);

However when calling any code that needs resources, i.e. below, pImage is NULL

CXTPResourceImage* pImage = LoadImage(_T("WORKSPACETOPLEFT"));

Any ideas please?

CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);

However when calling any code that internally to the SDK that needs resources, i.e. below, pImage is set to NULL as it fails to load the resource

CXTPResourceImage* pImage = LoadImage(_T("WORKSPACETOPLEFT"));

Any help much appreciated

I seem to recall when we moved to newer office themes I found that some of the images I was using were not available in the newer theme. I was using some of the ribbon group images and I think CJ stopped using images and started drawing gradients or something like that.

Basically you can't rely on the same images to be in all themes.
