I don't want to install and deploy more controls as needed. And a question is, if SkinFramework can adapt a new styles (e.g. WinVista) on the Innovasys FramePlus control. I would prefer a solution with CodeJock controls.
 
Is this not possible with the CodeJock TabControl and SkinFramework?
If it's not possible now, will this it be possible in further releases?

Try using Innovasys FramePlus ActiveX Control 1.0

Remark: The frames of my samples are not invisible, I just set the BorderStyle property to 0=none.

Even if I use a PictureBox, it doesn't look good. Look at the new screenshot.

SourceCode:
Private Sub Form_Load()
   TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorWinXP

   SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
   SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics
   SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "\WinXP.Luna.cjstyles", "Normalblue.ini"
End Sub

Visible Frames are very important to group the controls on a TabControlPage. Look at the Windows 2000 folder options screenshot above.
And it doesen't makes a difference if the frame is visual or not. The OptionButtons on the Frame on the TabControlPage on the TabControl are not drawn correct!

In the sample SkinMDISample on frmProperties I looks like it works. But there's a cheat: The OptionButtons are drawn on the TabControlPage itself and not on the frame. With this method you can not have multiple independent OptionButton groups on one TabControlPage. 

Is there a solution?]]> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:24:36 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6063&PID=19130&title=tabcontrol-and-grouped-optionbuttons#19130 <![CDATA[TabControl and grouped OptionButtons : Hello, I think that is better...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6063&PID=19114&title=tabcontrol-and-grouped-optionbuttons#19114 Author: dentor

Hello,
 
I think that is better to group options buttons in a picture box instead of a non visible frame (because a frame has not a hwnd property).
 
For me it solve the problem.
 
Hope it will help.

I like to put several OptionButton groups on a TabControl/TabControlPage.
To build groups of OptionButtons, I have to place them on frames.

If I don't group my OptionButtons, then it looks fine, but it doesn't work correct.
If I group my OptionButtons by placing them on non-visible Frames, there's a color problem.
Left side: without frames. Right side with frames.

Other example from Windows 2k how I like to use TabControl with grouped OptionButtons:
 
-VB6 SP6 on Win2k SP4
-TabControl 10.4 with TabControlPages
-WinXP.Luna.cjstyles file from CodeJock samples

What am I doing wrong? How does this work?
