Why does application change its themes when built with RB's components?

rbuser

Hi,

I am using RB 10.04 - Delphi 2005, Sql Server 2000 on Windows XP.

Since my application is added with a new unit which has
ppReportExplorer, ppDesigner, ppReport, ppDBPipeLine - the application
changes its themes completely. If I remove the newly added unit then the
thems change behaviour goes away.

It is the same effect you get when change themes (OfficeXP, Officce2003,
Default, ...) in Designer/View/Theme.

Could you please advise how to control this behaviour?

Thank you.
Victor

- Perhaps you used one of our demos as a starting point for your RB
implementation. All of the RB demos have the Delphi XPMan unit included in
the uses clause. Including this unit causes an application to load a newer
version of the Windows ComCtrls dll.

- The XPMan unit is not needed by RB, it just makes the demo applications
look more modern. In your applications you can decide whether to use it or
not.

- Try this simple test. Create a new application, add some buttons, list
boxes etc to a form. Then run the application and view the form. No close
the application and add XPMan to the uses clause. Run the application again.
