Problems with Office2007theme showing a MessageBox

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, 

 I have an application that uses the style Office2007Black using:

CommandBarsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Styles\Office2007Black.dll"

But when i show a MessageBox this style is not applied to the window, staying as
shown in the picture below. 

 I managed to change the style of its child windows using:

CommandBars.EnableOffice2007FrameHandle FormWhatever.hWnd

, but not the MessageBox one. 

 I have discovered TaskDialog control, but i can�t do it neither.

 What can I do? 

 Thanks and regards!

	You should use the SkinFramework control with the Office2007.cjstyles file (see SkinFramework sample) for skinning other windows. Just make sure to remove your main commandbars window handle from the SkinFramework control using the RemoveWindow method.

	Thanks jpbro! The problem is fixed. It seems easy to apply, but now I have another question: Like I say you, I�m using a Ribbonbar with Office2007Black.dll style, and i don�t see this style available for the SkinFramework control: Here are the styles available. Office2007.cjstyles: -NORMALAQUA.INI -NORMALBLUE.INI For now, I will use Office2007black.dll style for RibbonBar, and normalaqua.ini style for the Skinframework, because they are similar, but Is there any way to be equal to Office2007black.dll style? Regards!

	btw if you use both SkinFramework and Ribbon call SkinFramework.RemoveWindow me.hWnd for main form to prevent conflicts.
