Just sharing a problem and the solution I wasted a few hours figuring out.

When using HtmlHelp and XTPSkinManager I got strange looking coloring on the help window. It turns out that when creating the HTMLHelp window a thread is used. If you have

XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE);

set, then some of the controls in the help window will be skinned, other parts will not. The workaround is simple:

BOOL bAuto = XTPSkinManager()->GetAutoApplyNewThreads();
XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(TRUE);
HtmlHelp(0, HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC);
if (!bAuto)
XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE);

Hi,

Just curious, why you had SetAutoApplyNewThreads(FALSE) ?
