VB.NET - Ribbon Shows Black Area

I need help with my vb.net program. I've added a ribbon bar to the top of my main form using the DotNetBar and the problem is that it shows a black rectangle area instead of the default blue color. This only happens when I am using Windows 7 aero and is not maximized.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Solution

  • Just a guess, but it looks like DotNetBar is meant to be used without the standard Form chrome. Try setting your form's border style to None.

    Also, make sure you're following the directions and using a DotNetBar form control: http://www.devcomponents.com/kb2/?p=703

    Hope this helps!
