I am working on a .NET interop user control. To apply skinning I have created a shared form (frmStyles) that contains an instance of the skin control. It also has an initialise method that sets up the selected skin passed through from our VB6 app. Each user control declares a shared variable as an instance of this form and has a setTheme method that applies the theming. Like this:

If _frmStyles Is Nothing Then

_frmStyles = New frmInteropStyles

End If

_frmStyles.Initialize(sSkinStyle, bSkinON)

_frmStyles.SkinFramework.ApplyWindow(Me.Handle.ToInt32)

_frmStyles.Visible = False

This is all working fine. The problem occurs when I try to pop up a modal form from the user control. I use the following code:

Dim frm As New frmMyModalPopUpForm

_frmStyles.SkinFramework.ApplyWindow(frm.Handle.ToInt32)

frm.showdialog()

The form is displayed with only the form caption bar skinned. All the controls remain unskinned.

Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
