SkinFramework in .NET interop control

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

   We are using the skinFramework in our VB6 app.  We are just starting to incorporate VB.NET interop user controls into our VB6 app.

I hace successfully got the .NET user controls picking up the same skin settings as the VB6 app but I am having trouble with repainting.

I one of the .NET user controls is visible on the screen when the skin style is changed - it does repaint with the new style.  If I close it down and re-open it then it's fine.

Any ideas how I can refresh the usercontrol in code automatically?

Thanks.

	It looks like the repaint issue was occuring because I was running the .Net control in debug mode. I ran the VB app with the compiled control and it seems to refresh OK. My only problem now is the dodgy skinning of the .NET Tab Control
