    Posted: 19 June 2008 at 11:28am
Hi, I want to use the skinning framework of the Codejock library in an MFC application (Codejock MFC 12.0.0) which is using a third party ActiveX Textcontrol (textcontrol.com).
But I have some problems with the textcontrol:
The scrollbars of the textcontrol aren't skinned and don't work.

Is there any possibility to get it working.
I don't have the source code of the Textcontrol.
AFAIK, the Textcontrol uses uxtheme.dll.

BTW, I tested the Textcontrol with the trial ActiveX version of the Codejock library and I get it working with a VisualBasic sample of the Codejock library (Samples\SkinFramework\Vb\SkinControls) without any problems.
The Textcontrol Scrollbars are skinned and working.

I've a manifest in my application and I tested it also with the MFC SkinControl sample.
But I'm sorry, in the MFC SkinControl sample it is also not working.

I tested also the RichEditControl which comes with Windows XP.
It's the same:
In the VisualBasic ActiveX sample ActiveX the RichEditControl is correctly skinned, but in the MFC SkinControl sample the scrollbars aren't working.

For now, I've deactivated skinning for the Textcontrol with :
XTPSkinManager()->Remove(m_TX4OLE.GetSafeHwnd());
Or should I use ExcludeModule?

But it would be great if you have a solution for me.

Hi,
 
Problem that in VB you load skin after this ocx loaded.
 
as workaround you can reload skin in MFC in OnInitDialog:
 
 XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(m_strStylesPath + _T("WinXP.Luna.cjstyles"), _T("NormalBlue.ini"));

This solved my problem!
Thank you very much!
