Here's a wierd one.

if a reference is made to the skinframework but a skin isn't loaded message boxes unload themselves after a couple of seconds.

ie:

1. start new project vb6

2. place command button on form

3. place this code in form initialize event

Private Sub Form_Initialize()
SkinFrameworkGlobalSettings.License = "Skin Framework Control Copyright (c) 2003-2006 Codejock Software" & vbCrLf & "PRODUCT-ID: Codejock.SkinFramework.ActiveX.v10.1" & vbCrLf & "VALIDATE-CODE: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx"

End Sub

4. place this code in command button click event

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "hello", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "test"
End Sub

5. run application click command 1

6. message box appears and disappears again after a couple of seconds without being clicked.

please help

Thanks

Actually looking further it seems that you just have to place the control on the form to get the problem. Also the only way to get rid of the problem seems to be to remove the control altogether and reboot the machine.

this has been tested on xp pro and home.

Please attach project with this sample. We can't reproduce it.

hi

the project was a test which consisted only of the code shown in my earlier post in this thread, one form with a standard vb command button and the skinframework ocx (no other contols other than the normal default objects had been added to the project). the problem only occurs when NO skin is loaded. it also transfers to message boxes generated by the vb6 IDE when in design mode. the problem only seems to affect the instance of vb running the test. if i open up a second instance of vb with a different project it all works ok as do other applications. i didn't have the problem with beta 2. I have compiled the software with install shield and installed it on other machines and the same thing happens. we are about to release a beta of our latest app which is why we purchased the skinframework so we would be really grateful for a rapid solution.

Hi,

Alan, we can't reproduce it, so may be your os have some specific product installed that can influence it.... May be windowblinds or something.

Please send us as much information as possible - sample app, steps to reroduce, screenshots, OS specification etc.

Hi Oleg

Sorry but I couldn't login to download this link as I haven't recieved a user name and password to do so. I think this is probably my own fault as when I submitted the support form I think that my email address may have had a period after it by mistake. Is it possible to resend the ocx to mailto:alan@gold42.com - alan@gold42.com

Kind regards

Alan Burgess
