I am trying to get a TabControl to work with the SkinFramework on a Vista machine. Because I like the Aero titlebar and borders of Vista this is what I've tried:
TabControl.Appearance = xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage
TabControl.Color = xtpTabColorWinXP SkinFramework.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Vista.cjstyles", ""
SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyColors Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics SkinFramework.ApplyWindow hWnd This does not seem to work, the TabControl remains the default Color style.
 If I include xtpSkinApplyFrame during ApplyOptions all works fine but I lose the Aero titlebar and borders.
 Is this a bug or am I doing wrong?
We are using v10.4.2.

Hello,
I think you can disable SkinFramework vista theme if user run application in Vista. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

But I want the Vista theme to work on Vista. We are using VB6 which does not deliver themed applications correctly unless:
1) A .manifest file is included OR
2) Use some kind of skinning tool like CodeJock
There are some caveats with item 1, so we had decided on item 2.
If I turn off the SkinFramework on a Vista machine then other controls on the form are not themed but the TabControl is. If I turn on the SkinFramework, the other controls are themed but the TabControl is not.
 Not sure what's up here. ------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't. |

Hi,
Its designed behavior. Without xtpSkinApplyFrame TabControl will not be skinned.
I think you need enable manifest. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
