 Topic: .NET tab control not skinning properlyPosted: 30 July 2008 at 5:36am |

I have a .NET tab control with two tab pages which I am applying the skinframework to. The skinning works fine when form first opens but when I change tabs - the tab page backcolor (set to btnface) goes white. Switching back to the previous tab shows that as now being white as well.
Any ideas how I can force this backcolor property?

Hi,
You can try trick from our sample:
private void tabControl_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{ if (tabControl.SelectedIndex == 1) { skinFramework.ApplyWindow(this.tabPage2.Handle.ToInt32()); skinFramework.EnableThemeDialogTexture(this.tabPage2.Handle.ToInt32(), 6); } } |

I'm already doing that. Before I applied that, things like the radio buttons were not skinning. Applying that change fixed those issues but the back colour thing just will not go away.

Here is a mini project that shows the issue I'm having.
The demo is using VB6 and VS2005 VB.NET
You will need to Interop Tool Kit installed and also .NET framework 2.0 service pack 1.
Thanks

Hi Oleg. Thanks for the response.
I tried your suggested changes but it is still not working. the tabs backgrounds still just appear as white. the radio buttons backcolor shows as the correct color I was expecting to see for the tabs.
Did you actually get the sample working correctly at your end?

Hi,
Actually white color is background of TabPage. if you don't need it just don't call EnableThemeDialogTexture.

Fantastic! It worked. I was assuming I had some code missing rather than too much!Thanks very much for your help.

As Ive got your attention I have one last issue that I thought I would sneak into this thread.
I am using a FlowLayout Panel that is dynamically populated at runtime with various controls.
The only way I could get the dynamically created controls to skin was to loop through them all and apply the skin individually:
For Each ctrl as Control in flpFlags.Controls
_frmStyles.SkinFramework.ApplyWindow(ctrl.Handle.ToInt32)
Next
This works but is it the best way? I have other flowlayouts on popup forms that are populated at formLoad and they seem to skin with OK with just form having the skin applied.
My only remaining problem is that the list/combo box highlighted row is not picking up the default skin value.
e.g if I am on a the blue theme it should be orange but it is still showing in its default Blue.
Any ideas?

Hi, Add manifest for your application and selections will use skinned colors.

In VC2003+ just add
static void Main()
{ Application.EnableVisualStyles() Application.DoEvents();
Application.Run(new frmMain()); } |
