But the price!!! Actually SkinCrafter is kinda young product (their first release was on last Aug) but, IMHO, they offer a good skining service and for really lower prise - $299 for unlimited one developer licence comparatively to $999 for StrarDock Basic licence with "up to 1,000 units of your product to be distributed" :confused: Actually, I like SkinCrafter for their often upgrades releases and good job of their support team. Regards,

That was my lucky day! It took me quite long to find what I was looking for. The CharMap control exists, I got it from http://dmcontrols.com/charmap.html but as I understood it is kinda new line, have anybody tried their controls before?

I do have my own texteditor (RichEdit derived class), but really no matter into what to insert, what i need is just a string buffer with the symbols.

Developing my own app, where need a special symbols to be inserted. What I want is to have smth like Character Map inside of my program as to make a user use a windows' one is not a good thing. Does anyone know a .Net control which can help me? TIA

Interesting article Hi Folks, I have found this google article to be quite interesting to the theme of skinning. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=%2373JgT%23kDHA.1096%40TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl&rnum=7&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dskinmagic%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D%252373JgT%2523kDHA.1096%2540TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl%26rnum%3D7 Sorry for such a lenght, but that's a google ;)

Thanks, Hope I'll have a time for my own skins development... If so I''l inform you about results :) Best Regards

Yes, please, an example of not rectangular window (something like in skincrafter demos) would be high appreciated. TIA

Thank you... Thanks a lot for your suggestions! I'll try to use them when developing my next project, I hope I would have a time for implementing and debugging my own skin engine. But, as deadline is nearby, I'd use a skincrafter now, I also found it to be a good tool. Best Regards PS: If there is any samples with your method, it'd be very nice :cool:

how about more skins? Thanx a lot for explanation, but still have more questions - How can I do more then one skin this way? - And also I found that skincrafter can make different window shapes, depending on the skins... is it also easy to implement? Best regards

Hopefully this one will work Well, I guess, I have found the control to skin a .NET applications!!!:cool: Once more I made sure the Google is power :D !!! The control is called SkinCrafter, at their site http://skincrafter.com they are saying that it works for WindowsForms... their demo really does... If anyone has been working with it, please, your appraisal would come in handy :)

The most stable components IMHO are from Infragistic... I would suggest u to uz 'em. =) best regards

Probably some Activex would be the best, but the ones I know do nothing for .NET... here I mean ActiveSkin and DirectSkin... Can you suggest me anything else?

Hi there, The question is the following, I have my C# application almost developed, but I want it to be skinned some ways. Is there anything I can use to do this. TIA
