I believe I''ve tracked down the source of a random red X over the toolbars in our application.
Version 2.1.
We have a UI consisting of windows created in different STA threads. Each of these windows many have their own MainFrameBarManager. I''ve found that when a CommandBar paints, it first calls static methods MenuColors.UpdateMenuColors() and Office2003Colors.UpdateColors(). These in turn fire events in the original painting CommandBars thread to all other CommandBars in different threads w/o marshalling. These other CommandBars then invoke repainting in the incorrect thread.
Is there any way to prevent these events from firing short of modifying the CommandBar code to marshal? I really don''t want to go down this road. I also want to stick with full XPMenu support over XPToolbar since it adds support for chevrons.

Hi Brian,
I''ll take a look into this and I hope to be able to update you on it tomorrow. In the mean time, if you have a sample available, please e-mail it to me at gregorya@syncfusion.com.

Hi Brian,
I''ve attempted to reproduce this problem and have been unable to do so. Is there anything special you''re doing other than creating multiple Forms?

Yes. The forms are created in separate threads marked as STA. These other forms also host a MainFrameBarManager.

Hi Brian,
I apologize for my question being vague. My intent was to ask for anything you''re doing in addition to marking the threads as STA.

No problem. I''ll try and create a repro tomorrow. Should I just attach the zip to a post here?

Hi Brian,
Yes, attaching a zip file here would be the best way to do it. However, if that doesn''t work you could send it directly to me at gregorya@syncfusion.com.
