Hi, does the skinframwork skin forms embedded in .ocx or .dll? For example, am using Crystal reports 9 and some dialog boxes like print are not skinned properly or loose the window frame if skin applied..

We expected the same behavior with some Cobol dialogs: In the first second it looks fine, but then the titlebar and frame disappears.
But we are still working on a simple example to upload here.

Hi Oleg, I too have some skinning issues with Crystal 8.5. I have upgraded to Crystal V10, and would be grateful if you have any MFC sample projects you could send me. |
