OK - I can try that I guess. However, I don't necessarily always have easy access to the HWNDs of all the windows I want to skin, so this could be quite difficult.
 
Any idea why the RemoveWindowClass method class doesn't work for the dialog class, as if it did, I think this would solve my problem?
 
Thanks
Mark
 
 
P.S. It would be nice if the SkinFrameworkApplyOptions could specify a lot more specifically what to skin and what not to skin in a window.

Hi,
 
You can set AutoApply option to False and Skin only windows you need.

I don't generally have easy access to the HWND of the dialog boxes that I want to remove skinning from. I have tried using RemoveWindowClass with "#32770" as the class name. However, this doesn't seem to work for some reason.
 
This can be seen in the VB "SDISample" sample application. I have added the following lines to Form_Load():
 
    SkinFramework.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Styles\Le5", "Normalblue.ini"
   
    SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyColors Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics Or xtpSkinApplyFrame
   
    SkinFramework.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
       
    SkinFramework.RemoveWindowClass "#32770"
 
However, when I click on any of the buttons to open one of the common dialogs, they are still skinned, as can be seen from the title bar.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
Mark

You can call XTPSkinManager()->Remove(hWnd) to remove skin from some window.]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:17:04 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14736&PID=50960&title=skinning-everything-apart-from-title-bars#50960 <![CDATA[Skinning everything apart from title bars : Thanks Oleg.

Thanks Oleg.

So is there any way I can change the SkinFrameworkApplyOptions on a per window basis? I basically don't want the title bars of my dialog boxes skinned but I do want the controls within the dialog, such as Edit controls, to have skinned scrollbars. If I could set the SkinFrameworkApplyOptions for only the dialog box (not it's child controls) to not include xtpSkinApplyFrame then this could be achievable. Otherwise, is there another way of doing this?

Thanks
Mark

Hi,
 
No. ScrollBars are part of frame.

Hello
 
I am trying to skin everything in my application apart from the title bars of top level windows. Is this possible?
 
I have tried removing xtpSkinApplyFrame from SkinFrameworkApplyOptions. This does stop the title bars from being skinned but it also stops the scrollbars on all windows from being skinned, which I want.
 
Is there a way to achieve this?
 
Thanks
Mark
