Codejock Skin Builder

Hello,

You can find info about skinning in help file
C:\Program Files\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v17.1.0\Help\SymbolReference.chm

"Toolkit Pro v17.1" > "Skin Framework" > Classes > "CXTPSkinManager Class" >  "CXTPSkinManager  Methods" > "CXTPSkinManager::LoadSkin Method"  and other topics

With SkinBuilder you create .cjstyles file. Then in code you load this skin file. For example see our sample c:\Program Files\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v17.1.0\Samples\SkinFramework\SkinCommCtrl\MainFrm.cpp

CMainFrame::~CMainFrame() {     XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL); } void CMainFrame::OnSkin(UINT nID) {     m_nSkin = nID;     int nSkin = nID-200;     XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(GetStylesPath() + skins[nSkin].pszPath, skins[nSkin].pszIni);     if (NULL != GetSafeHwnd())      RedrawWindow(0, 0, RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_UPDATENOW|RDW_ERASE|RDW_ALLCHILDREN); }

or  Samples\SkinFramework\SkinMDISample\MainFrm.cpp

About themes - .ini  files should be compiled to appropriate dll library. For example after changes in Office2013Access.ini  you need to rebuild Office2013.dll  (project Source\Styles\Office2013\Office2013.dsw).
For example you can see Samples\Ribbon\RibbonSample\MainFrm.cpp, methods CMainFrame::OnOptionsStyle, CMainFrame::SetTheme, CMainFrame::SetCommandBarsTheme.
