RadRibbonForm TitleBar problem

[.]

Hi,

I set my RibbonForm TitleBar theme to "Desert" but, when i run the application, it seems to be classic windows forms title bar look and feel, even though the desert theme takes place in the Visual S. Design View.

Why does my titlebar theme is overwritten by the classic Windows forms look and feel ?

Hi Nesim,

Thanks for contacting us and for your interest in RadControls for WinForms.

Basically, the RadRibbonForm control is designed to mimic the behavior of the Microsoft Office 2007 applications, i.e. if you are using Windows Vista and you have the Aero effect enabled, the Form will hide its title bar and will show the Windows Vista Glass title bar. However, you can easily discard this behavior by setting the AllowAero property to false. Take a look at the following code snippet:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.AllowAero = false;
}

I hope this helps.

Do not hesitate to get back to me if you need further assistance.

All the best,

Hello Arun,

Thank you for writing.

By default, the RadRibbonForm.AllowAero is set to true and if your system have aero effects enabled, the title bar will not be colored as expected. To overcome this behavior you need to set the AllowAero property to false and applied the desired theme. Here is my sample code snippet:

public partial class Form1 : RadRibbonForm
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Windows8";
        this.AllowAero = false;
    }
}

The attached screenshots illustrates the difference. If you are still experiencing any difficulties, feel free to open a support ticket and provide a sample project replicating the undesired look. Thus, we would be able to investigate the precise case and assist you further. Thank you in advance.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
