GetXtremeColor() never gets initialized

   Hi there.. I am trying your DialogSample project, where in CDialogSampleDlg::OnPaint() call I do the following:
CPaintDC dc(this); 
CRect rectClient(0, 0, 0, 0);
GetClientRect(&rectClient);
dc.FillSolidRect(rectC, GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_SPLITTER_FACE));

GetXtremeColor() won't work because it does not get initialized. Well, it does in the constructor with the COLORREF_NULL value. Why do i have to do extra steps to initialize the color manager and how I do it at all... 
I want the dialog to be light blue.
Cheers,
Serge

	As you can see constructor, it call RefreshColors(); and XPCOLOR_SPLITTER_FACE become equal to COLOR_3DFACE. if selected theme is Office 2003 you can use XTPPaintManager()->GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_SPLITTER_FACE) to get Office 2003 variant of XPCOLOR_SPLITTER_FACE.

	Oh... thanks a bunch.... I did not realize that both PaintManager and ColorManager had two different sets of colors... Is there any reason for having both? Sorry for asking a lot of questions - we've just purchased the tool kit Pro - so I need to get up to speed quickly... Spasibo.
