Hi,

If SkinFramework is Enabled then

        Private Sub Form_Resize()
             If Me.Width < MIN_WIDTH Then
                   Me.Width = MIN_WIDTH <--- there is runtime error throwed
             End If
        End Sub

Error occurs only under Vista and enabled SkinFramework. If SkinFramework is disabled then error is not throwed.

Hi,

the problem is elsewhere, not in activate. Try second enclosed sample project.

Try first resize, maximize, minimize window without skin.
After click to button for activate skin and try maximize, minimize and maximize again.

Does anybody fix this problem?

The problem is that you're trying to set width when form is maximized. Add this line to beginning of Form_Resize event:

If Me.WindowState = vbMaximized Then Exit Sub

Thanks, but this not solve the problem. See attached example in previous post.

When Form.WindowsState = vbMaximized then MIN_WIDTH and MIN_HEIGHT are not set.

No, the example you posted only checked for WindowState=vbMinimized.

OK. From other side.

Why line If Me.Width < MIN_WIDTH Then throws error under Vista and under Windows XP not? Problem is in reading value from Me.Width. Not in setting new values. When we remove skin under Vista, everything is ok.

Sorry, the description in first post in this topic was incorrect. This one is correct:

Private Sub Form_Resize()
             If Me.Width < MIN_WIDTH Then <--- there is runtime error throwed
                   Me.Width = MIN_WIDTH
             End If
        End Sub

I see.

I've run it on Vista (32bit) and no error thrown so can't be much help here.

The only thing I would change is declare your constants as Single and try again (that way you're comparing like for like and eliminating some type casting quirk).

I find out following:

1. Run attached example and don't apply skin.
2. maximize form and than minimize (aktual width is 2400)
3. maximize form again and in FORM_RESIZE check width (aktual width is
    19320), no errors occured. That's ok.

And try it again :

1. Run attached example and apply skin.
2. maximize form and than minimize (aktual width is 2400)
3. maximize form again and in FORM_RESIZE check width (aktual width is
    2400!!!), no errors occured. That's no good, because WIDTH < MIN_WIDTH.

I could remove MIN_WIDTH setting, but size of other controls on this form is depend on this value (tab grids for example is resized incorrect).

This problem is only with combination of Vista and SkinFramework.

In second sequence is error, of course.
