Hi,
I've got a problem : when I apply a skin to a dialog box, the parent window is also partially skinned and that gives me awfull things.
For exemple, I'm working on a Microsoft Word addin. It's a dll called by a Word macro, and that display a dialog box. I use Codejock to skin the dialog box.
Here's the code I added to the dialog box.
In the constructor :
XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(xtpSkinApplyFrame | xtpSkinApplyColors | xtpSkinApplyMetrics);
In the OnCreate() method :
CString strStylePath = "C:\\Program Files\\Codejock Software\\MFC\\Xtreme Skin Framework v11.1.3\\Bin\\vc71\\styles\\iTunes\\";
        XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(strStylePath, _T("Normalitunes.ini"));

        RedrawWindow(0, 0, RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_UPDATENOW|RDW_ERASE|RDW_ALLCHILDREN);

The skin works perfectly on the dialog box, but the parent window (that is to say the Microsoft Word's window), is modified after the display of the dialog.
Word's window before :

Word's window after :

(the screenshots have been made with the iTune skin)

How can I fixe that ?
Thank you.

Hello,

If you plan use skinned and not skinned windows, you have not set xtpSkinApplyColors apply option:

XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(xtpSkinApplyFrame | /*xtpSkinApplyColors |*/ xtpSkinApplyMetrics);
