From memory: HINSTANCE hInstResourceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourSkin.dll");
XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL); ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

.cjstyles is just an extension. You can rename it to whatever you want, like .dll. If you want all skins in a dll, then you need to search this forum for: XTToolkitPro.rc ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

But I want to embedd the .cjstyles as a resource, I dont want to load it from a file. SkinBuilder can export my style as a .rc file, how can I apply the skin from that file ? Thanks. |

Just include the resources of interest into your rc-file (probably YourResourceDll.rc). E.g.:
#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
...
And to load the skin:
XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hInstanceDLL, _T("OFFICE2007BLUE.INI"));
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlue.ini")); ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

How do I get hInstanceDLL since I cant load it via LoadLibrary ? And do I have to use SetHandle instead of XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL); Wouldnt that work aswell ? Thanks for your time |

Create your resource-only DLL and include the rc-files of your choice. Then use the code above. hInstanceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourResourceOnly.dll");
...
Why wouldn't you be able to use LoadLibrary? ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

I think u didnt get my point. From memory: HINSTANCE hInstResourceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourSkin.dll");
XTPSkinManager()->SetResourceHandle(hInstResourceDLL);
How is this loading from memory ? its loading from file (.dll) .cjstyles is just an extension. You can rename it to whatever you want, like .dll. yeah and .exe is just a extension aswell and u cant rename it to .dll Create your resource-only DLL and include the rc-files of your choice. Then use the code above. hInstanceDLL = LoadLibrary("YourResourceOnly.dll");
...
Why wouldn't you be able to use LoadLibrary?
And again, I dont want to use a dll, sorry. Why do I need to include the .rc script generated by SkinBuilder and ALSO need to build a dll ? I dont get it. I just want to add the rc file into my dialogapp and directly load it from there. |

#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
...
And to load the skin:
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NormalBlue.ini")); Just move those resource files to your exe's rc2 file instead. This question has been answered like 100 times in this forum. Search for "rc2" or "XTToolkitPro.rc"... ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |
