Is it possible to apply skins to forms, or dialogs, in a separate assembly than the main assembly that has the skin framework.
I have an assembly that has custom message boxes we use.
From the main application, I would like to have the skinframework automaticaly skin the message boxes when they are called.
I have tried setting the AutoApplyNewWindows property to true.
I have tried putting Appplication.EnableVisualStyles() in several places.
Neither seem to make the framework skin any dialogs from the custom message box assembly.

I believe in that case, the user wanted to skin the main form and not skin child forms?
This is not what I am looking for.
I want to skin the main form, and skin the child forms.
However, to do this in most cases, you have to add the ApplyWindow call in the child forms.
This is not feasible if the child forms exist in a separate assembly than the calling application.
At least if I use the method for skinning child forms used in the samples.
It works for Windows Messageboxes, but not for my custom message boxes.
