    Posted: 18 April 2011 at 4:43am
Hi;

I use a self created custom control several times on different places (dialogs, panes, views ...) of our app.
Now we want to apply skins to our app but I can't find a way how to skin this custom control. See my screenshot of the control with a short description of the contained elements.



What do I have to do to apply a dialog skinning (background, edit and button) to this special control when its placed inside a dialog and a docking pane based skinning when it's in a pane?

Any help is very welcome.

Hello Oleg;

here it is:



Background should be the same as the dialog / view / pane background and label, edit controls and button should be rendered using the currently applied skin.
At the moment I'm a little step further; I found CXTPWinThemeWrapper and I believe that I have to modify all my OnPaint() / OnEraseBkgd() functions, check whether a theme is applied and use the CXTPWinThemeWrapper::Draw... functions.
But I don't know which themes to open for background of overall control and for the label.
