 Topic: Skin doesn't apply...Posted: 01 July 2008 at 6:43pm |

I have an app that checks for some pre-requisites in CWinApp:InitInstance(), and if it doesn't find them, it tells the user via AfxMessageBox(). The problem is that the skin isn't applied - i'm using Vista/black - and the message comes up in the old blue style.
I tried moving some of the code to the frame, but by then it's too late, so I got a (non-XTP-related) crash.
If the Init function completes, the skins are all applied. Any ideas how to apply a skin to a messagebox - without having to write my own modal dlg??
thanks!
- David

Hi,
Have to work. Are you sure you already load skin in this point ?

No, the LoadSkin hasn't been called yet, because the CWndFrameWnd hasn't been created yet. The message box appears, followed by a dialog before the frame gets created. Once the frame is created and the skin loaded, then everything's perfect. it's just the first two boxes appear in the default Windows style.
This code was written 10 years back by some long-gone programmer, and I hate to rewrite it, but if that's the solution, then I will.

Hi,
Just move LoadSkin from CWndFrameWnd to InitInstance.
