Hi,

I've been playing around with SkinFramework and it seems to work nicely for VB6.

In .net2.0 I do have an issue. I don't know if my program setup is wrong or not, but this is the situation.

I have one windows form named Template. Form1 and Form2 inherit the settings of the Template form. In the Template form I have configured the settings for SkinFramework. On form1 I have a button which opens form2.

When I run the program, form1 opens with the correct skin. When I click my button, form2 opens with the correct skin.

Now, when I close form2, the skin applied by the SkinFramework disappears from all open forms and I have the default System skin.

Now I am wondering, if my setup is correct. Can I define SkinFramework on a template form for use by other forms, or do I configure SkinFramework on every form present in my solution? Or, is there a third solution?

This is the code used in the constructor of the Template form (the control is put on the form with the designer):

public Template()
{         
    InitializeComponent();           

    string skinFolder = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\\Office2007.cjstyles";
    axSkinFramework.LoadSkin(skinFolder, "NormalAqua.ini");
    axSkinFramework.ApplyWindow(this.Handle.ToInt32());   
}
