Hello all,

Does anybody have experience with custom controls that don't get skinned by the framework? How can you solve those problems? Do you have to commit to a specific interface or listen to certain messages? We have build our own scrollbar, but it won't get skinned.

Thanks!

Use our CXTPWinThemeWrapper if you need create skinned areas.

I'm using VB6 with ActiveX. Where can i get that wrapper? Maybe I can learn a thing or two from it.

Oleg,

Is there a posibillity to implement this? If so I can open a support ticket for a new feature.

I'm still curious how this CXTPWinThemeWrapper works. Maybe I can figure something out.

I found some information on using Themes. I haven't delved into it but it looks promising.
