I designed two forms，use v15.0.1

the first form code：
-------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
    SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path + "\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalBlue.ini"
    SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
    SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics
    lbVer.Caption = "Version：beta 1.0"
    'lbVer.ForeColor = vbWhite
End Sub

Private Sub PushButton2_Click()
    frm1.Show
    Me.Hide
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------

the second form code
-----------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
    SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path + "\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalBlue.ini"
    SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
    SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics
    lbVer.Caption = "version：beta 1.0"
    'lbVer.ForeColor = vbWhite
End Sub

Private Sub PushButton1_Click()
    frmSys.Show
    Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Unload Me
    frmSys.Show
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------

My question is: When showing a second form, click Close, it is back to the first form, but the skin did not load the first form,why?

I am very confused.

Hi,

Application should have only 1 instance of SkinFramework that will skin all forms. just remove it from second form - it will be skinned automatically.

Hi,

As Oleg says, you only need one instance of the SkinFramwork control in your application. Try using the following code in your first form that opens:

    With SkinFramework
        .ExcludeModule "msado15.dll"
        .ExcludeModule "msdard.dll"
        .ExcludeModule "msjet40.dll"
        .ExcludeModule "msjetoledb40.dll"
        .ExcludeModule "msjiter40.dll"
        .ExcludeModule "msjint40.dll"
        .LoadSkin App.Path + "\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", ""
        .ApplyWindow me.hWnd
        .ApplyOptions = SkinFramework.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics
    End With

PS. The reason for the ExcludeModule codes is that I have experienced crashes with the SkinFramework control when working with Databases under certain circumstances. This resolves the issues I have had, although I do only need .ExcludeModule "msado15.dll".
