    Question WindowsBlinds type application

    Does anyone know how it would be possible to make a WindowsBlinds type application in VB6??? Ive been trying to do it for months...

    I tryed using the ActiveSkin OCX:

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_Load()
    2. Dim hwnd1 as String
    3. hwnd1 = (vb hwnd, i forgot)
    4. skin1.LoadSkin "C:\winaqua.skn"
    5. skin1.ApplySkin (hwnd1)
    6. End Sub

    But it only skinned my form, and that VB6... I would really appreciate it if someone could help me to figure this out!

    i don't know how window blinds does its thing, but i think it does some kind of subclassing etc with the windows, which would make it impossible in VB.
