Skin does not apply to a Dialog within FormView

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

   Hi

I have an MFC SDI application. It creates a FormView. The FormView hosts a dialog (Call it as Dlg1). Dlg1 has a tab control, few buttons and static text. Each tab hosts another FormView which in turn hosts a dialog (call it dlg2). 

I see that the skin applies to all controls, however the background color of both dialogs (Dlg1 and Dlg2) does not change, it remains its default gray. Can anyone tell me what could be issue? Is this a known problem and is there any workaround? OR am I missing any step?

I am using MFC evaluation version 13.3. I have tried using custom skin files as well as the ones provided by Codejock for evaluation.

Thanks in advance...
