If an application uses a resource dll, and needs to add support for the Office 2007 theme, can the:

#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"

be added to the resource dll, or must be be added to the applications .rc2 file?

HINSTANCE hResDLL = LoadLibrary("Resource.dll");

CMainFrame::CMainFrame()

{

XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(hResDLL);

XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, _T("NORMALBLUE.INI"));

}

Something like that.

I wish we could use LoadSkin, however our applications use unicode/unicows and the Armadillo protection package, which breaks the Codejock Skin stuff.

However, in our case, we can use the normal theme logic, but it requires us to use the:

#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"

in our applications .rc2 file.

Since we have several applications that use a common resource dll, it would make more sense (and save memory) to place the Office2007Blue.rc stuff in the resource dll. However, we cannot get it to work for some reason.

Hi,

You need specify ini file:

XTPOffice2007Images()->SetHandle(hModule, _T("OFFICE2007BLUE.INI"));
