Hi, I want to use the skinning framework of the Codejock library in an MFC application (Codejock MFC 12.0.0) which is using a third party ActiveX Textcontrol (textcontrol.com). But I have some problems with the textcontrol: The scrollbars of the textcontrol aren't skinned and don't work. Is there any possibility to get it working. I don't have the source code of the Textcontrol. AFAIK, the Textcontrol uses uxtheme.dll. BTW, I tested the Textcontrol with the trial ActiveX version of the Codejock library and I get it working with a VisualBasic sample of the Codejock library (Samples\SkinFramework\Vb\SkinControls) without any problems. The Textcontrol Scrollbars are skinned and working. ------------- Dieter Product: Xtreme ToolkitPro version 15.2.1 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 3 Language: Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Studio 2010 |

I've a manifest in my application and I tested it also with the MFC SkinControl sample. But I'm sorry, in the MFC SkinControl sample it is also not working. I tested also the RichEditControl which comes with Windows XP. It's the same: In the VisualBasic ActiveX sample ActiveX the RichEditControl is correctly skinned, but in the MFC SkinControl sample the scrollbars aren't working. For now, I've deactivated skinning for the Textcontrol with : XTPSkinManager()->Remove(m_TX4OLE.GetSafeHwnd()); Or should I use ExcludeModule? But it would be great if you have a solution for me. ------------- Dieter Product: Xtreme ToolkitPro version 15.2.1 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 3 Language: Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Studio 2010 |

Hi,
Problem that in VB you load skin after this ocx loaded.
as workaround you can reload skin in MFC in OnInitDialog:
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(m_strStylesPath + _T("WinXP.Luna.cjstyles"), _T("NormalBlue.ini")); ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
