Help... I'm trying to get the TaskDialog to have the same window style as all the other forms in my app.
I have an MDI form which uses the following to give me a nice Balck Vista style...
CommandBarsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Styles\Office2007Black.dll"
I've tried setting the TaskDialog.UseComCtl32 = False and TaskDialog.MessageBoxStyle = True on an XP system and still just get a plain dialog.
What do I need to do? Below is a screen shot of my problem.
Thank you!
Tim

Hi,
Check our SkinFramework samples ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thank you for your reply.
I looked at the SkinFramework SDI Sample yesterday. The difference between using the SkinFramework and the CommandBarsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images is that the later uses a DLL to specify the skin whereas the SkinFramework requires all the various skin images to be external to the app and thus giving the user the ability to change these images.
So in the end I would be better off using a standard form for my message boxes instead of the TaskDialog and use the command
"frmMDI.CommandBars.EnableOffice2007FrameHandle me.hwnd" to give it the same look and feel.
Is this correct?
Thanks,
Tim

| Ribbon can't be skinned. So you must use the supplied Dlls for the ribbon. For everything else you use the SkinFramework. |

Thank you.
I've basically just used the command frmMDI.CommandBars.EnableOffice2007FrameHandle me.hwnd on a dedicated form to handle dialogs.

Tim
