hi:

I am trying to use the skinframework in Visual Basic(VS2005). But it looks it didn't work well.

I created a MDI project, and created several forms and child forms. the MDI form and all the

xtreme controls could be skined, but the other forms and all the child forms of the MDI form

couldn't be skined.

why?....

I want to know if there is any way to solve this problem.

thks for your help.

Jack

Hi
The subject of this branch is NET WinForms controls.
Are you talking about WinForms controls or ActiveX controls in MDI VB.NET?
I tried to reproduce your problem in NET WinForms C# MDI project under VS2005 (Samples\ReportControl.ReportPerformanceTest).
I could successfully change Theme in ReportControl control in a child window.
Please send your test project if you want us to reproduce your problem and find the reason for this behavior.

Regards
Vladimir

i find that in your products list that there are winforms controls and activex.

and it seems that it's different.

Hello,

With .NET languages you have to manually apply skin for each toplevel window.

Just add these lines

  protected override void OnVisibleChanged(EventArgs e)
  {
   base.OnVisibleChanged(e);

   if (this.Visible)
   {
    frmMain.skinFramework.ApplyWindow(this.Handle.ToInt32());
    this.BackColor = skinFramework.GetColor(XtremeSkinFramework.XTPColorManagerColor.STDCOLOR_BTNFACE);
   }
  }
