 Topic: How to Skin Control Panel?Posted: 10 February 2009 at 1:36am |

Mark,
I am running "Control Panel" window through my application by giving following call: hInstRtn = ShellExecute(hWndPim, NULL, szCmdLine, lpEA->lpCmdArg, NULL, lpEA->nCmdShow); I can see Control panel Dialog on screen but it's not skinned. How to apply skin to this third party Dialog running through my application? |

For your convenience attaching modified Codejock sample application,
Sample: C:\Program Files\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme ToolkitPro v12.1.1\Samples\SkinFramework\SkinControls File Modified: SkinControlsDlg.cpp Function Modified: OnButtonMult void CSkinControlsDlg::OnButtonMult() { HINSTANCE hInstRtn = NULL; hInstRtn = ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd, NULL, "Control.exe", "intl.cpl,,4", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); /*CDialogSample sd; sd.DoModal();*/ } To reproduce the problem you can comile and execute attached modified source, Click on the button "Multiple Skins" You can see Regional Settings dialog without Skin. How to apply skin to this? Image:  uploads/20090210_015840_SkinControls.zip |

Hi, Prashat, you have all source of Release 13. Make some research how to add system-level hook and tell us about your results please

Hi,
Yes, with system global hooks its possible - but most of Antivirus software will block your applicatio as virus.

Perhaps you can open the Control panel item via a DLL call?
