skinning apps like activeskin

[dikkiedik]

With VB6, Delphi and C++ it was possible to skin my applications with activeskin (http://www.softshape.com/activeskin/).

 

It works for .NET also, but only a few controls. Other controls like scrollbars, checkboxes and radiobuttons(very important in my applications) are still in old/ugly windows style.

 

I'm wondering if there are any skinning products for .NET available

Not that I know of. For checkboxes and radiobuttons, try setting their FlatStyle property to System - that might help activeskin skin them properly.

Problem

 

Hi, I use ActiveSkin, and I have the same problems that dikkiedik, but when i change the FlatStyle property, the controls doesn't skin properly.

 

Anyone knows any thing about this ???

 

TabCOntrol, StatusBar, ProgressBar, scrollbars, checkbox, radiobuttons, toolbars, and more control doesn't work.

 

It seems that only works the textbox, and the label that comes with the activeskin control.

 

Thanks

Anyone knows anything ?

 

It's urgent , please, help me.

ActiveSkin doesn't work properly with .NET. I'm sorry if it's urgent, but you should have thought about that before committing to a product that can't support the platform you're using.

Thanks for you answer,

 

do you know any other product like ActiveSkin that will work with .NET?

 

I tried DirectSkin too, but the same result, :mad: :mad: :mad:

 

 

Thanks

I'm afraid I don't. I'm sure there are suites of similar-looking widgets out there if you search though.

Hi! I searched a lot, ..., and only I found things for VB 6.

 

If anyone knows something, please let me know.

 

thanks
