Skin Problem with Title Bar

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

   We are using Crystal Report Print Engine to show crystal report in our application. When crystal report window shows up, title bar disappeared immediately after user moves the mouse button on it. Now I can fix this by .RemoveWindow(Hwnd) but inside that report window, there is one "Print" button which brings the Printer Dialog also has the same problem. I don't have the Hwnd for Printer Dialog button. Now I can use .AutoApplyNewWindows =False to fix the problem, but if I do this, other windows in my application does not get skinned which is a problem. Is there any way to stop skinning Only for one window and any child windows of that window? I could use sub classing, but I don't know what msg to capture to stop the skin.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We are using SkinFramework 13.1 version.

	I do the same thing with an other embedded application and i provide 2 functions: Public Sub SuspendSkinning() With MyMainForm.SkinFramework .ApplyOptions = 0 .AutoApplyNewThreads = False .AutoApplyNewWindows = False End With End Sub Public Sub ResumeSkinning() With MyMainForm.SkinFramework .ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyColors Or xtpSkinApplyFrame Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics .AutoApplyNewThreads = True .AutoApplyNewWindows = True End With End Sub Before i call the application i call SuspendSkinning and if the application ends i call ResumeSkinning. This works for me. During callbacks i add my own forms for skinning with SkinFramework.ApplyWindow(MyForm.hWnd). I have tried also the following, but this seams not to work: SkinFramework.ExcludeModule("foreign.dll")

	This approches does not work for our scenarios as I explained in my problem description. Since we show the crystal report window as non-modal window, users are able to open other window while report window is open, so new window will NOT get skinned until user close report window.

	Than you can explizitly skin your forms by Skinframework.ApplyWindow in each form in Form_Load-Event. If you want to skin some commondialogs like Open/Save than use ResumeSkinning before call and SuspendSkinning after call.
