Hi,

Is it possible to set another font for form caption at runtime when Skin is already applied?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Yes, call first

SkinFramework.CreateSchema

and SkinFramework.SetWindowTheme to apply it for some window.

Hi Oleg,

It doesn't do what I want

Well this is what I tried:

Exported Office2007.cjstyles to resource script file
All images and ini files are in App.Path\res
Code in form:

Dim skinSchemaTemp As SkinSchema
Set skinSchemaTemp = SkinFramework.CreateSchema(App.Path & "\res", App.Path & "\res\themes.ini")
SkinFramework.SetWindowTheme frmMain.hWnd, skinSchemaTemp

Returns error because schemaSkin is Nothing

Can you please tell me what is wrong?

Hi Oleg,

Set skinSchemaTemp = SkinFramework.CreateSchema(App.Path & "\res", "NormalBlue.INI") works but entire form (caption, borders, system buttons etc. etc.) are just black, no images are shown. Also menu isn't showing, only dropdown menu items.

Do I have set something else?

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

This is what SkinBuilder exported in ini file:

ImageFile = Blue\FrameCaption.png

All images are in ...\res\*.png

Ini files are in ...\res\*.ini

What should it be?

I tried to change path in ini file:

full path
\res\FrameCaption.png
FrameCaption.png

And it still didn't work

Hi,

replace

ImageFile = Blue\FrameCaption.png

ImageFile = FrameCaption.png

or move all images to Blue subfolder.

Hi Oleg,

I can't get it to work

I guess you have to test this yourself (maybe just once)

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for sample, so now I know it can be done

I wonder why it doesn't work when exporting to resource ???

I will look into this again and report it to you (or others who want to do the same).

Thanks again
