I've taken your advise and put the Skin control on a sperate form, and I also forgot to include the xtpSkinApplyFrame option. This resloved the issue for the most part. Thanks guys.]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:44:24 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11455&PID=38460&title=solved-controls-only-partially-affected-by-skin#38460 <![CDATA[SOLVED: Controls only PARTIALLY affected by skin : ok :) ]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11455&PID=38448&title=solved-controls-only-partially-affected-by-skin#38448 Author: Oleg

Hi,

 
Also try to move these lines to first lines of Load event. Maybe when you call it your groupBox and CheckBoxes already created...

This happens sometimes, when the skinframework is in the same form as the controls.
If the Form_Load-Event occurs all controls are already loaded and builded, so skinframework can't capture this.
 
Try:
Use a hidden form that only contains the skinframework and load this in sub main before you load any other form, than all forms are (normaly) correct skinned.
Don't forget unload the hidden form if application ends.

UPDATE: I have come up with the bandaid solution of adding the following BOLDED lines. Do I really need to apply the skin to each groupbox?

    Skin1.LoadSkin Skins(0).FileLocation, Skins(0).iniFile
    Skin1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
    Skin1.ApplyWindow GroupBox1.hWnd
    Skin1.ApplyWindow grpReplyOptions.hWnd
    Skin1.ApplyOptions = Skin1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics

I have a pretty complex form using a majority of the CodeJock controls. There is one weird occurance that is happening however. When I apply a skin, there are a handful of controls that dont get affected, or get partially affected.

If you look at the attached screenshot, you will notice a docking pane on the bottom of the form underneath the reply box (with the confidential, urgent, etc... checkboxes).

These controls are all on a groupbox, which is linked to the pane during construction. the groupbox that gets attached to the pane is correctly affected by the skin change, however the checkboxes and addition groupbox seem to only be partially affected (the background colors do not change). These checkboxes and groupboxes are the CodeJock version, and not the MSVB version. All UseVisualStyle Properties=True

Please advise!!
