Looking at sample SkinControls and have 3 questions:

1. in CSkinControlsDlg::CSkinControlsDlg and in

XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(m_strStylesPath + _T("Vista.cjstyles"), _T("NormalBlack2.ini"));

where is file NormalBlack2.ini?

2. when running SkinControls it creates \bin\vc100\Styles folder and would like to know where the code is that does this?

3. want to avoid installing .cjstyles files and have looked at

https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9783&title=load-style-without-cjstylesfiles

but cannot find any info about putting the needed rc-files in your rc2-file and using them?

1. It is "inside" Vista.cjstyles, you can open this in Skinbuilder and see the different ini.
2. It's a custom build step:


3. Here is a better link:

have added/included vista.rc alongside in CodejockSample.rc in .rc2

#include "CodejockSample.rc"

#include "Vista.rc"

and

XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlack2.ini"));

in CReportDialogExDlg::CReportDialogExDlg but nothing happens. am I missing so something?

ok this works ...

have added/included vista.rc alongside in CodejockSample.rc in .rc2

#include "CodejockSample.rc"
#include "Vista.rc"

and in constructor

XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(AfxGetInstanceHandle());
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlack2.ini")); 
XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(xtpSkinApplyFrame | xtpSkinApplyMetrics);
