Hi,
I would like to modify one of the supplied skins to change the App Main Title Bar colors and also the color of the title bar text.
Are there any examples for this or could you at least point to where to start.
Thanks,
Don

Thanks,
That should have been obvious (DUH)
 Could you answer one more question for me though.
I am using the Vista Skin supplied with the app on a Windows XP system. The color of the title bar (caption) is still being controlled by the desktop, not by my application. What do I need to do to make the Skin take precedence over the desktop theme?
Thanks,
Don

Here's the code I execute during startup or when the skin changes: // Exclude a couple of MS DLLs that cause problems XTPSkinManager()->ExcludeModule(_T("msctf.dll")); XTPSkinManager()->ExcludeModule(_T("mshtml.dll")); // Load the skin XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(skinfile, skinini); // Apply skin, including metrics, coloring and frame XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(xtpSkinApplyMetrics|xtpSkinApplyColors|xtpSkinApplyFrame); // Apply skin to all new windows and threads XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows(TRUE); XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewThreads(TRUE); // Apply skin to current thread and window XTPSkinManager()->EnableCurrentThread(); XTPSkinManager()->ApplyWindow(this->GetSafeHwnd()); // Redraw everything XTPSkinManager()->RedrawAllControls(); |

The parent of the color dialog may not be skinned. Try cd.m_cc.hwndOwner = GetSafeHwnd(); ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |

I don't know. I enable skinning early in application startup (before my main window is created), rather than when a button is pressed. Is there a reason you're doing it where you are? Do you want to only skin the color dialog? ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |

Actually in our application we using Office2007Black style. The systems messageboxes or the Dialogboxes like CColorDialog CFileDialog's tittle bar color is not changing. We want uniformity in our application.....thats why we want this....right now i am trying on sample application.....

I did not have to do anything special in my application to skin the color and file dialogs. The code above that you used is what I execute during startup (and whenever the skin changes). Sorry, I can't send you my application because it is about 1 million lines of code in many projects, and is my company's property. ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |
