If i change the system menu color, it does not change the menu color of my application. Why does it happen? Anysolution to this.

I am using OnSYsColorChange() event and tried with

XTPColorManager()->RefreshColors();
XTPPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();

but none of these functions change the color of the menu. Pl. suggest.

May be you use custom theme and don't call base member in RefreshMetrics?

Must. Check this in our samples.

Somehow i managed with the following code... Is it correct?

CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme( xtpThemeOfficeXP);
COLORREF ref = XTPColorManager()->GetColor(COLOR_MENUTEXT );
XTPColorManager()->SetColor(COLOR_BTNTEXT ,ref);
XTPColorManager()->SetColor(XPCOLOR_MENUBAR_TEXT&nb sp; ,ref);

XTPPaintManager()->RefreshMetrics();
GetCommandBars()->RedrawCommandBars();
