Hi all, is there a way to set the MDI background when using ribbon with office2007 theme?

Seems like the usual techniques dont work, like subclassing, even if i set the commandbar to not theme the tabworkspace.

Using VB6, any ideas?

This has been something that has been confusing me for a while too now.

The code "CommandBars.PaintManager.FillWorkspace" works perfectly well when developing a SDI application. But no matter what I have tried on an MDI application I can't get any kind of background onto it.

Hope someone can help both myself and Zane on this one as the MDI plain background is a little boring to stare at.
