[petrus]

I know how to do skins in ActiveSkin, and I've a skin, a great skin, but that skins is just to my and my friends app.
I don't understand what you want, could you explain again please?

[Walid Bahgat]

look
1- i want to know how to make a skin
i tried and then saved it but when i go to the IDE of VB
then add it ,it doesn't work

2- i want to enter an irrelgular form

[petrus]

OK!
When you make a skin, just add a SkinForm object.
Add all things you want on it, and then go to VB.
Right-Click on your ActiveSkin control and press "Load Skin", then browse for the skin.
Then, go to the Form_Load() event.
Write this:

Skin1.ApplySkin me.hwnd

Hope this will help, otherwise ask again!

thankx 4 ur reply petrus

i made an irregular skin and it didn't work

i wrote the follwing code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Skin1.ApplySkinByName Me.hWnd, "FreeForm"
End Sub

but it didn't work
and by the way this code is wrote for other irregulat forms made
by activeSkin and it works

so what shall i do

[petrus]

Have you named your window to FreeForm???

[Walid Bahgat]

no
then if this is the way how do i name it

[petrus]

OK! That's the problem, easy to solve!
On the left in SkinBuilder there is a Tree, first a "Skin" folder, under that a "Objects" folder.
In that folder you should see your window, click on it (in the tree) with the right mousebutton and click on "Rename".
