Dear Tech Support,
First of all I want to mention that I did not reply the message under the "asserts while changing theme" thread because my priorities had been changed. But I will write an example for that problem.

Now,
Our program had two options. User can use the program with ribbon bar or without ribbonbar. If the second option had been chosen the program opens with mfc defaults(menus,etc.)
When a child frame had been created in the main frame we can resize or close the childframe properly but when we maximize the childframe the 3 buttons on top(minimize,restore,close) does not work. We can not even catch On_Close message on the childframe? What can the problem be?
Below the creation of the child frame is shown,

int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
    try
    {
        if (CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
            return -1;
    }
    catch(CHaspException ex)
    {
        if (ex.GetExceptionId() != -1)
            AfxMessageBox(ex.GetExceptionMessage());
        return -1;
    }
    // TODO: Add your specialized creation code here
    CMainFrame* pParent = (CMainFrame*) GetMDIFrame();
    if ( this->GetSafeHwnd() != pParent->GetSafeHwnd()
        && this->GetSafeHwnd() != pParent->m_pGustoPanel->GetSafeHwnd()
        && this->GetSafeHwnd() != pParent->m_pOpenWinChildFrame->GetSafeHwnd())
    {
        pParent->m_titleList.AddTail(this);
        pParent->UpdateOpenWindowsList();
    }
    
    return 0;
}

We need to more details about your project in the non-ribbon mode. Was the ribbon bar created but now it is hidden? What Prof-UIS controls were also created in the frame window? It would be very helpful to look at main frame’s source code or receive a test project from you.

here is the main frame oncreate method of our program We do not create ribbon bar when non-ribbon mode had been chosen.

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)

Unfortunately we cannot say what is wrong. Would you create a stripped version of your project with UI code only and send it to us?
