Skinning in VB.NET 2013

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

   Hi.
In VB6 it is possible to programatically set the foreground and background colours of a text box control after it has been skinned.  However, in VB.NET this does not work - when using a native .NET text box control, setting the foreground and background colours has no effect on the control once it has been skinned.

I've tried using the skin framework RemoveWindow method, passing the handle of the text box control, but this does not make any difference.

I'm using Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX 15.1.3 with Visual Studio 2013.

Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks.

Peter
