Hi Support,

I have purchased Toolkit pro version (order #60398).
I have created a custom skin based on vista skin.
The skin works perfects ok, but i have a problem in changing the text color or fill color from edit ctrol or combo box control as shown in the attached zip file.
uploads/20070504_103221_How_to_Skin.zip - uploads/20070504_103221_How_to_Skin.zip

I have tried to change the [edit] and [combobox] sections of ini file, but nothing works.
Can you tell me how can i change the text color or background color in these two controls?

Hi,

hm you right :( for edit and list used standard font - not themed.

Please patch XTPSkinObjectFrame.cpp:

for 2 "if (nMessage == WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX || nMessage == WM_CTLCOLOREDIT)" blocks add

::SetTextColor((HDC)wParam, GetColor(COLOR_WINDOWTEXT));

and recompile library, Now add in ini file:

WindowText = 255 255 255

Hi,

after doing the changes suggested by you i could see the proper text color in edit and combo box drop down.
But problem still exist for standard print dialog. I have uploaded the png files for the print dialog.
