static void Main() 
{
  Application.EnableVisualStyles()

  Application.DoEvents();
  Application.Run(new frmMain());
}

 

And how is that please?

 

I have the same problem.

 

thanks.

 

 

Thanks again.

Add manifest for your application and selections will use skinned colors.

 

I am using a FlowLayout Panel that is dynamically populated at runtime with various controls.

 

The only way I could get the dynamically created controls to skin was to loop through them all and apply the skin individually:

 

For Each ctrl as Control in flpFlags.Controls

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

Next

 

This works but is it the best way?  I have other flowlayouts on popup forms that are populated at formLoad and they seem to skin with OK with just form having the skin applied.

 

My only remaining problem is that the list/combo box highlighted row is not picking up the default skin value.

 

e.g if I am on a the blue theme it should be orange but it is still showing in its default Blue.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks very much for your help.

 

Actually white color is background of TabPage.  if you don't need it just don't call EnableThemeDialogTexture.

 

I tried your suggested changes but it is still not working.  the tabs backgrounds still just appear as white.  the radio buttons backcolor shows as the correct color I was expecting to see for the tabs.

 

Did you actually get the sample working correctly at your end?

 

Here is a mini project that shows the issue I'm having.

 

The demo is using VB6 and VS2005 VB.NET

 

You will need to Interop Tool Kit installed and also .NET framework 2.0 service pack 1.

 

Thanks
