With the new update 17.1 happens curious appereances. The skinning produces in textboxes, comboboxes and other controls random dots, lines, shifted characters.

This behaviour can be tested with the original Codejock sample program SkinControls. I have tested it with the C#- and the VB6 projects.
Instruction: In the sample project switch between various skins and see the effects. There are not always the same effects, the malformation switches. I have it labeled with red frames in the screenshots.

I have it tested also on Win10 64-Bit and Visual Studio 2013, there are also malformations. But they look a little bit different.

Please, can somebody also test this behaviour?

Hello,

we have the same issues here with the C++ Version. These issues are visible in the SkinControls-Sample as well in our Product.

We are using Visual Studio 2010 (newest SP) with MFC.

If I import the File Office2007.cjstyles in your SkinBuilder I can also see these issues:

Btw: The drawing errors reported in this post are fixed in 17.1.0: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22750&PID=74131&title=problems-with-beta3#74131

Why does the bottom of textbox text get cut off when a skin has been applied?

See screenshot of SkinMDISample running with Codejock Skin in Windows 7

Hi all,

I'm glad to inform you that the reason of other issue with undesirable transparent borders around ListView and TreeView was found.

The reason was in WS_BORDER style of ListView and TreeView. As hot fix you can set it to false (property BorderStyle to "0 - ccNone").

In code it is in method CXTPSkinManagerSchema::DrawNonClientRect(),

     else if ((dwStyle & WS_BORDER) && !(dwStyle & WS_DLGFRAME))     {
          int nSize = GetMetrics()->m_nBorderSize;
          COLORREF crColor = GetColor(pFrame->IsActive() ? COLOR_ACTIVEBORDER : COLOR_INACTIVEBORDER);
          XTPSkinFrameworkDrawFrame(pDC->GetSafeHdc(), rcFrame, nSize, crColor);
		
          rcFrame.DeflateRect(nSize, nSize);  //<<<<<  added
     }

The fix will be available in the next beta or final release.
