QUESTION: Custom Window Frames?

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

   Hello.

Oleg had mentioned to me that the Maxthon Browser uses codejock controls, MFC I think.

And I was wondering, Maxthon is able to use it's own titlebar/window borders and what not.

Is it possible for me to do so?

Thanks and reguards.

	I have tried both. and as I mentioned before, I'm not to huge of a fan of the Office2007 look. Is there any way I can create a custom one? in the fashion of the Office2007?

	You can use the Skin Builder tool that comes with the suite if you are graphically inclined.

	Alright folks. Let me rephrase what I meant. as you can see, the caption buttons are definately made by the command bars. Or atleast I think so in best judgement. And notice how the Active menu is "In" the title bar, rather than below it. THis is what I meant. btw, thanks for the link Oleg, that's some nice .mssstyles.

	They use our MFC version where each element/theme can be customized. Its not so flexible in ActiveX version :-(

	Thanks Oleg for clearing that up for me, I'll just have to get the MFC edition sometime sooner or later.
