I am trying to use codejock skincontrols 13.1 in combination with commandbars 13.1. However, since we use the skin (WinXP.Royale.cjstyles for example), the background of for example a textbox is white.

The problem is, that when you try and set the background color of the textbox from code (e.g. textbox1.backcolor=vbred), the background color remains white.

Is there any way to make a textbox skinned, but still gives the application control over the background color?

edit: i just tested, and codejock v12.0.2 did give the programmer control over the background color of textboxes and option boxes. It appears to be a newly introduced bug in the ocx.

Hi,

Strange - I just created new project and added standard Textbox + our FlatEdit with such code

Private Sub Form_Load()
SkinFramework1.LoadSkin "c:\Source\SVN\Trunk\ToolkitPro\Source\SkinFramework\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", ""
SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
Text1.BackColor = vbRed
FlatEdit1.BackColor = vbRed

End Sub

all work fine for me. Please try with new project too.

That's a bit impracticable if you are dealing with hundreds of forms...

It's strange oleq can't reproduce the issue. Are you sure you added a commandbars to the form as well?

We wiped v.13 from our systems and reverted back to v12 so the problem is solved for us for now.
