   Swings and roundabouts then ....

Just upgraded to 11.2.2 ... some things are fixed, but CommandBar.GetSpecialColor now returns -1. We kinda used that one a lot to supply 'standard' colours to the drawing routines.

Y'know, some of us are trying to use this stuff in commercial software.

Arrrgh

Oh well, back to 11.2.1, and the work-rounds.

NOT good, guys.

	You can chhose not to update the components instead of blaming the developers. You can contribute to your knowledge, suggestions, or ideas.

	Hi, Very strange, can you give me some lines of code that work differently in 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 ?

	OOOPS. My fault, I apologise. It was the 'STYLES' Dlls - I hadn't updated the ones referenced in the development folder with the new ones - 11.2.1 worked fine with these Style DLLs, 11.2.2 returned invalid colors after the Style had been applied to the CommandBar and the GetSpecialColor call was made. My excuse - I was just a bit pissed after our guys spending a week implementing 11.2.1 into our projects (using the new common controls) and finding quite a few 'omissions' there. Was a bit 'disappointed' by that, and was hoping that 11.2.2 would fix the issues in 11.2.1 ... and I thought that it had actually caused us more problems. Anyway ... sorry for the misdirection. Just to update this - there are still a lot of areas where the Codejock common controls work differently from the MS ones. And the odd property/method that's missing, or not fully implemented. We've been working wih Codejock components for a few years, and have found them to be of excellent quality, and to provide VB6 developers with all they need to implement Vista compatible apps - without too much pain. I'm sorry I cast negatives in the wrong direction ... (maybe I'm just pissed over having to use Vista).
