Here the other day I discovered something strange. I thought I would use WinLicense from Oreans (http://www.oreans.com/winlicense.php)to both compress and protect an application made with CodeJocks XTP 13.0.0, statically linked in a MSVC 6.0 SP6 project. At first glimpse everything seemed to work as expected, but it turned out that the compressed application wouldn't skin the menubar and toolbar. This was very visible when I used an iTunes-like skin, where I should have the burshed-metal-lookalike background in both menu and toolbar. The uncompressed application had no problem whatsoever. So, has anybody had any experience with compressors like WinLicense or AsProtect -and- Codejock Skin Framework? ------------- Best regards, Bob Proud Programmer! |

Hi,
Yes, its known issue - some compressors/license/unicows use same hook methods and can't be used together with SkinFramework :-( ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thanks for quick response Oleg (as allways!!) Do you imagine that it could be possible to "align" such products with XTP? I am thinking more in the lines "what would for example WinLicense need to support" in order to be XTP "compliant" skiframework-wise. ------------- Best regards, Bob Proud Programmer! |

rvoith, I'd contact oreans (R. Ahucha is very helpful) and let them analyze the problem. I bet they can solve it! ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

Peter,
Oreans did quite some analysis to get this working. At the time being the XBundler-feature doesn't work, but you can protect your application. The changes are;
Hope this helps! ------------- Best regards, Bob Proud Programmer! |
