Hello,

I have a non-MFC application (wxWidgets app), which is a pure Windows API framework.

I wonder if it is possible to apply the skin framework using only the shared library (the .DLL one) dynamically and redefine LoadSkin function with non-MFC data types!

BOOL LoadSkin(LPCTSTR lpszResourcePath, LPCTSTR lpszIniFileName = NULL);
_XTP_EXT_CLASS CXTPSkinManager* AFX_CDECL XTPSkinManager();

Will this work ?

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello tomay3000,

SkinFramework hooks almost all calls to drawing. It exchange addresses in all loaded DLLs and in application with addresses of functions from in SkinFramework library. You can find what exactly functions and DLLs hooks SkinFramework in array CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::m_apiHookInfos[] (Source\SkinFramework\XTPSkinManagerApiHook.cpp). If wxWidgets uses the same libs and functions to drawing then SkinFramework can hook it.

Regards,
Oleksandr Lebed

Thanks for the reply, I will try to dig a little bit in the source code and see if I can generate a header file with all required definitions to use with my Windows API application
