m_pActivePopup->SetTheme( xtpPopupThemeOffice2003 );

is it possible to also set the theme of a

CXTPPopupControl to the same colours as used by Black, Blue, Aqua and Silver ??? Is this built in, if not how do custom themes work for this control

Any help appreciated

Hello,

You can add big Rectangle item to fit whole popup with theme color

clrRibbonFace = XTPOffice2007Images()->GetImageColor(_T("Ribbon"), _T("RibbonFace"));

Can you please show example of clrRibbonFace above changing back colour of a CXTPopupControl, we use the 2003 style right now but we want it to show Blue, Aqua, Silver etc.

Not sure how doing what you said would change the colour anywhere

Just add in our sample

void CPopupControlDemoDlg::SetOffice2003Theme()
{
m_pActivePopup->RemoveAllItems();

COLORREF clrRibbonFace = XTPOffice2007Images()->GetImageColor(_T("Ribbon"), _T("RibbonFace"));
COLORREF clrBorder = XTPOffice2007Images()->GetImageColor(_T("Toolbar"), _T("MenuPopupBorder"));
m_pActivePopup->AddItem(new CXTPPopupItem(CRect(0, 0, 329, 74), 0, clrRibbonFace, clrBorder));

...
