If we apply skin effect in application it gets applied to everything .

e.g. All the dialogs i application we show the same skin effect.

Is there a way to apply skin in such a way that only some/particular dialogs will show the skin effect and others don't

I mean i want selectively for the dialogs/other controls to show the skin effect .

Could we do that?

Secondly the files used to apply skin .cjstyle files could we edit those files

if yes how to do that.

Thanks in advance

Himanshu

Hi,

Call SetAutoApplyNewWindows(FALSE) and apply windows you only need.

I have a similar problem.

I am using the following code to load the skin:


XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows(FALSE);
XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE);
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(m_strStylePath"));

To assign a window I use:


XTPSkinManager()->ApplyWindow(myWindow.m_hwnd);

The applied dialog is skinned, but the colors of the loaded skin are also applied to the other dialogs. For instance the background of static text controls is different from the default windows skin.

Example of the loaded skin:

Another dialog as it should be:

And that's how it looks like when the other theme is loaded:

In my case if I set this options before any other operation

XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(xtpSkinApplyMetrics | xtpSkinApplyFrame );

it seems to work.

But I don't know if this is the correct solution, I'm glad to know other approaches.
