<p> I have updated the example a bit. I updated the move for (thanks to Joey Burgett). I fixed the code in the OpenSkin sub, now if the user is a first time user it will load the default skin!<br>
Because of a request i also made it so that the form can be in the Windows task bar! <br>
I also updated the SkinBuilder, now you can make the exit and minimize buttons show or hide its captions and i added a new feature that allows you to preview the skin in a form so that you know what the skin will look like (this is why the skinbuilder source is now in the "skin" directory) <br>
And i also made 4 new Skins (Some graphics are from SoftShape, view skin comments for more)!!
<p> </p>
============================<br>
Hello VB'ers. This code allows you to custumize (skin) your project 100% (size, shape, etc)
It also comes with a skin builder and 4 skins. It can save the last used skin, move the position of object and much more! Check it out, very easy to edit and understant, totally commented. please vote!
Thanks
Matt!!

Your code was excellent and I have
voted 5 stars. Are you able to send me
the dos-shape program you based it on
as it is no more available on the
website address you gave. In fact he
said he lost all his VB code!

Hi, it doesn´t run because it looks in
the registry and loads the last used
skin, but if its the first time u use
it there is no last used skin :)
I
will fix this in the update.
Hope this
helps,
Cya Matt!!

|
11/13/2000 7:53:46 PM:Matthew Woodhams

originally by softskin, its all in the
skin comments :)
Cya Matt!!

Hello all, i would just like to say
that this source code does "not" use
the SoftSkin ActiveX called Active Skin
(alot of people have asked), it is a
way of not having to use it and to skin
your projects with pure VB code!
I
only used some of the images they have
because im not a good designer and i
have them credit :)
Cya Matt!!

Great code ! And never mind the skinny
comments of some of the others. What
matters is the code, not the skins.
Keep up the good work

It looks nice So I'm giving you a 5.
But if you check out vbaccelerator.com
they have a free control which allows
you to very easily skin a form much
more like what a lot of the companies
have been using. You should check it
out :)

addin that lets you change the form

Pretty good, but what happens if the
programmer or user wants the form
resizable?
|
12/26/2000 11:32:30 PM:trrand
Great job. As a novice, I've wondered
how some of these great skins could be
made to work w/ VB 6.0!
|
12/26/2000 11:34:14 PM:trrand
Great job! As a novice vb developer, I
have been very curious as to how all
these great skin developers could apply
their skins to VB 6.0 GUI's.
thanks.
|
12/29/2000 11:12:35 PM:Matthew
Hello all, thanks for the nice words,
im glad you liked the source.
Kurt:
Sorry, i dont know of an addin, only of
the VBAccelerator dll at
www.vbaccelerator.com
agent: You can't
resize the form, sorry.. :)
And
everyone else, thanks i hope this
helps,
Cya Matt!!

Nice code matt, I think some people
don't realise though it's a
demonstration you should of used some
win amp skins as well that might of
satisfied them :), I've been trying to
email you back about the game your
developing but keep getting a security
error from your mail server, do you
have an alternate email address from
the one you post on the squash
productions site?

Hey, very nice. I was just wondering:
Im making my own MP3 Player with
changable skins. Some of the parts I
just wanna change the color. I stored
the hex values in a file, and opened it
sucessfully, but when I try and apply
the color, it gives an error because
it's still in string format and it
dousn't recognise the Hex Value! Any
ideas?

Thanks for providing this excellent
piece of code. But I have a problem
when creating a .skn file. In the Skin
Maker screen after giving all the
necessary info and after saving, the
file cannot be previewed or opened.
What can you do for this.
