In our VB6 application, we apply skin to the MDI form.  But one of our forms has a control that doesn't get along with the skin. (On program close, it crashes with an access violation.)

So ... can we do something to that one child form to prevent the skin's application?

Thanks.

Hello,

Try call SkinFramework.RemoveWindow(hwnd). where hwnd is handle of your control.

Hi Oleg,

I saw your reply to this post. I use most of your controls for my work but I also use the SGrid control by Steve McMahon @ VBAccelerator. http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Controls/S_Grid_2/index.asp

For varying reasons I should like to keep this control. However, when I remove the modally called form from being skinned the grid is still being affected. If I do SkinFramework.RemoveWindow vbalGrid1.hwnd it is still being affected. The main problem is the scroll bar which behaves oddly when the Skin control is in use. Remove the call to skin the application and you can scroll the grid quite happily even though the skin control is loaded in the project. Am I doing something wrong ?

I have also experienced this issue.
 
I have a form that I cannot use the skinnning because of the issues with menus.  When I remove the skin from the window, the control on the form is not "reverting" back to the correct colors.

I have a 3rd party control that has it's own menus.  When the skinning is turned on, their dynamic menus don't show up.  When I try to use the command bars control, then the form gets the menu clicks instead of the 3rd party control.  There are no codable options to take care of all the menu items in the control. 

I do use the command bars control in several other forms and it works great!  It is just this one that I don't have control of the menus that is a problem.

Not quite sure why you posted this. This was my post anyway and you will also notice I replied to Oleg stating 'Brilliant'... or am I missing something ???
