HI,
I'm now trying to add Office2007 skins for my dialogs, as I know, I need the skin library "Office2007.cjstyles" and use it by calling the XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin() function. This function will use CXTPSkinManagerResourceFile::Open() to load this skin library, but now it only supports loading from files, and I need to move it into the program and use it as other resources.
Here is my solution: first include the "Office2007.rc" in the .rc file of my project, which will compile the library into the .exe; then write another CXTPSkinManagerResourceFile::Open() which will replace the library module handle (m_hModule) to the application instance handle. But in this way I have to change the low-level codejock in class CXTPSkinManagerResourceFile, is there anyway that can avoid this? Or any better solutions?
PS: I'm working with Xtreme Toolkit Pro v13.0

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Yes, include rc file in your res\app.rc2 file and add in code

XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(AfxGetInstanceHandle());
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(0, _T("NormalBlue.INI"));
