 Topic: Dialogs and the Office2007 skinPosted: 18 June 2007 at 5:49pm |

I noticed that the ribbon demos do not have skinned "about" dialogs. At first I thought this was just an oversight, but after spending days failing to skin my applications dialogs I read in this forums that skin manager when the office2007 skins are used to "prevent conflicts." Is this going to be fixed in future releases? If so, then how many months will this take to fix?

I'm doing this now with the ActiveX version. Take a look at this little project for some possible ideas:

I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular
to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe — because, like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return. |

The ActiveX project you posted the source for is C# and I do not perceive how to carry over your success to the C++ realm. I would appreciate a response from the developers.

Another question: Supposing that my application uses the ribbon and Office2007 skin; since I cannot skin its dialogs with the Office2007 skin, can I skin the dialogs with a second theme that causes no mysterious "conflicts"? My understanding is that the answer is "no", because only one skin is allowed within an application; am I right? Also, what exactly are these "conflicts" that arise when dialogs are skinned with the Office2007 theme?
I need answers. |

I'd suggest opening a support request, since you absolutely need a response from the developers. Just a suggestion. |

This is a pretty basic issue and it is amazing the answer is not posted someplace obvious within these forums or documentation. I think I will just keep checking on this thread to see if anyone ever answers the previous questions.

Hello, All you need to resolve conflict is call XTPSkinManager()->RemoveWindow(m_hWnd); to remove CMainFrame from skinning.

Is there some sort of developer's note concerning this "conflict" that I overlooked? I would sure like to read it to grasp what the conflicts are about.
