We use a customized base class for all of our dialog windows, when adding a FromFrameSkinner in this base class, it has no effect on the derived window.


Any idea?


Thanks in advance,

Hello,

Sorry to up this post but I have the same problem. I add a FormFrameSkinner + ThemeSelector (Ribbon 4.2) to a form and this has no effect outside of designer. The form is a dialog box classic. The system is Win7 x64 (aero). The FormFrameSkinner works on the main sheet is placed or the Ribbon. if aero is disabled the FormFrameSkinner work correctly.

Thank you.

We tried to reproduce the problem but it seems that everything works fine with inheritance, aero effect and modal dialog. Could you send us a sample project that illustrates the issue?

We just put the Component onto the base form using the designer. The base form is located in a separate component DLL.

When using the base class in a derived window, in the Visual Studio Designer everything works fine, but at runtime it doesn’t work when using Win Vista Pro with Aero (without aero or when using Win XP it works).


So it seems to be more a problem with Aero und modal dialoges and has nothing to do with inheritance.

Could you tell us more about how exactly you are using FormFrameSkinner in the base class so that we can help you? Of course, a small sample illustrating the issue will be really appreciated.
