I am trying to find out if there is anyway to get the same theme that is applied to a Ribbon to also be applied to the status bar?
Is it possible or is this going to be a feature request?
I modified the xamFeatureBrowser's xamRibbonWindow.xaml to have a statusbar and it correctly changes its color scheme when the Theme property is set. Is this what you mean or are you referring to something else?
e.g. I added this to the sample
I wonder if this is related to another support issue that I submitted earlier where the XamRibbonWindow does not work as described in the documentation.
Here is a sample that does not work for me: I am using VB so no code behind is required (according to the documentation and by looking at the Window2.g.vb file that was created)
<igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow x:Class="Window2"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window2" Height="300" Width="300">
<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost>
<igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>
<StatusBar Name="StatusBar1">
<TextBlock>This is the status bar</TextBlock>
</StatusBar>
</igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.StatusBar>
<igRibbon:XamRibbon>
</igRibbon:XamRibbon>
</igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow>
