Set Application Back colors based on Office Theme
Hi,
I am developing an addin to outlook 2007 and would like to set my form and other control backgrounds based on the user's office theme(Blue, Silver, Black). I could get the user's office selected theme from registry. Could someone suggest a best way of applying this selecting theme to the controls in my application? Thanks & Regards Ponnu

Set Application Back colors based on Office Theme
You can't apply a theme to colors in Outlook form controls, if that's what
you're asking about. You'd have to read the color as an RGB color value and apply that to the backcolor properties of your controls. Same thing goes for any other controls you are using. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Set Application Back colors based on Office Theme
Hi Ken,
Yes, I have RGB equivalents for all the three themes. Is the only way to set the background color for all my controls in the addin like my form, grid and other controls? or is there a way so I could set the RGB color in one place and all my controls would inherit them.

As far as I know you have to set things control by control.
