Hi,
 
Just curious, why you had SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE) ?

Just sharing a problem and the solution I wasted a few hours figuring out.
 
When using HtmlHelp and XTPSkinManager I got strange looking coloring on the help window.  It turns out that when creating the HTMLHelp window a thread is used.  If you have
 
XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE);
 
set, then some of the controls in the help window will be skinned, other parts will not.  The workaround is simple:
 
BOOL bAuto = XTPSkinManager()->GetAutoApplyNewThreads();
XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(TRUE);
HtmlHelp(0, HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC);
if (!bAuto)
   XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE);
