I can't change the font of Ribbon and Commandbar to the Tahoma (Arabic), Here is my code In my MDI, I've picHolder object with it's font sets to Tahoma Arabic:

   Set CommandBars.Options.Font = picHolder.Font
   Set CommandBars.Options.FloatingBarCaptionFont = picHolder.Font
   Set RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Name = picHolder.Font
   Set RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Name = picHolder.Font

Also using

CommandBars.Options.Font.Name="Tahoma"

CommandBars.Options.FloatingBarCaptionFont.Name="Tahoma"

....

with no success!

When I use the : Debug.Print CommandBars.Options.Font.Name the result is : Segoe UI

I can send a picture of my problem, if U think it can help,

THx for your prompt reply,

Hamed

Hi,

May be you set them before you set paintmanager/visual theme. Try to call it in last lines.

I added in our sample

CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"
Debug.Print CommandBars.Options.Font.Name

and it works.

I've found something fantastic,

1) the problem was the skin framework, when remove the skin frame work from my form it's ok, changing font is perfect,

2) this works when remove the skinframework:

CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma": CommandBars.Options.Font.Charset = 178
   CommandBars.Options.FloatingBarCaptionFont.Name = "Tahoma": CommandBars.Options.FloatingBarCaptionFont.Charset = 178
   RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Name = "Tahoma": RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Charset = 178
   RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Name = "Tahoma": RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Charset = 178

This is not:

With CommandBars.Options.Font
      .Name = "Tahoma"
      '.SIZE = 8
      .Charset = 178
   End With
   With CommandBars.Options.FloatingBarCaptionFont
      .Name = "Tahoma"
      '.SIZE = 8
      .Charset = 178
   End With
   With RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont
      .Name = "Tahoma"
      '.SIZE = 9
      .Charset = 178
   End With
   With RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font
      .Name = "Tahoma"
      '.SIZE = 8
      .Charset = 178
   End With

I don't know why?! How can I use this with skinframework?

Also how can I change the form caption in ribbon theme mode?

Thx for your reply,

Hi,

Again can't reproduce. Please change our sample - check if you see same problem and attach it here.

What CommandBars version do you have?
