Yes, afraid we can't do anything here - we need DLL Entry table to allow API hooks and such tools break it.]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:55:37 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4120&PID=59075&title=upx-and-xtp#59075 <![CDATA[UPX and XTP : Interesting, thanks for the information...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4120&PID=59054&title=upx-and-xtp#59054 Author: IRMark

Interesting, thanks for the information everyone.

Does anyone from codejock have any details that they would like share?

PECompact is not the same as UPX. If it was, then both would show the same result. Obviously.
 
Try looking at different packing options of UPX. The error lies in UPX, not in CJ code. For comparison, I had to consult the author of another packer to make it compatible with the CJ API-hooking. It's not like CJ will change their hooking engine at this point :P

PECompact works and does the same as UPX.

WE have run into the same problem with UPX and the skins. Does anyone else have any information regarding this? Or the reason why UPX is not compatible with the skins?

Thanks!

If I use UPX to pack an EXE that is statically linked with the XTP library some controls have the wrong theme (docked panes, CommandBars, tab control) or to be more precise, they don't get skinned with the Office 2007 theme.

To reproduce it please do the following quick steps with the GUI_Whidbey sample.

Add #define _XTP_STATICLINK to the StdAfx.h

Add #include "XTToolkitPro.rc" to GUI_Whidbey.rc2

Add XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin (_T("Styles\\Office2007.cjstyles")); to the constructor of CMainFrame

You can download UPX here: http://upx.sourceforge.net

This is how it looks if the EXE is not packed:

 

 

And this is how it looks if the EXE is packed:
