From memory:

HINSTANCE hInstResourceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourSkin.dll");
XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL);

.cjstyles is just an extension. You can rename it to whatever you want, like .dll.

If you want all skins in a dll, then you need to search this forum for: XTToolkitPro.rc

But I want to embedd the .cjstyles as a resource, I dont want to load it from a file.
SkinBuilder can export my style as a .rc file, how can I apply the skin from that file ?
Thanks.

Just include the resources of interest into your rc-file (probably YourResourceDll.rc). E.g.:
 
#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
...
 
And to load the skin:
XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hInstanceDLL, _T("OFFICE2007BLUE.INI"));
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlue.ini"));

How do I get hInstanceDLL since I cant load it via LoadLibrary ? And do I have to use SetHandle instead of
XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL);
Wouldnt that work aswell ? Thanks for your time

Create your resource-only DLL and include the rc-files of your choice. Then use the code above.

 
hInstanceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourResourceOnly.dll");
...
 
 
Why wouldn't you be able to use LoadLibrary?

I think u didnt get my point.

From memory:

HINSTANCE hInstResourceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourSkin.dll");
XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL);


How is this loading from memory ? its loading from file (.dll)


.cjstyles is just an extension. You can rename it to whatever you want, like .dll.


yeah and .exe is just a extension aswell and u cant rename it to .dll


Create your resource-only DLL and include the rc-files of your choice. Then use the code above.

 
hInstanceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourResourceOnly.dll");
...
 
 
Why wouldn't you be able to use LoadLibrary?


And again, I dont want to use a dll, sorry. Why do I need to include the .rc script generated by SkinBuilder and ALSO need to build a dll ? I dont get it.
I just want to add the rc file into my dialogapp and directly load it from there.

Just move those resource files to your exe's rc2 file instead. This question has been answered like 100 times in this forum. Search for "rc2" or "XTToolkitPro.rc"...

I'm having a problem too.
I downloaded a skin from skinbase.org Glosso.msstyles
How can I include this skin in my resource and load it from there?

Hello,
This solution is for one skin but for two and more.
