Windows Vista

[mick18uk7]

Hi guys

I would like you to advise me because i couldn't find a black windows aero glass with freeware activex and i did made a forum search. But if you know something better than that, please if you could let me know because i need it for my software and i might share to other people which makes my application looks wonderful




Thanks

Moved.

What is the question?

[RudiVisser]

Something about this, Hack.

i couldn't find a black windows aero glass with freeware activex

But I don't get it either.

[RobDog888]

Aeroglass is not an ActiveX control or program. Its a theme that is only available on Vista. You can google search for similar themes for XP but they are not exact.

But I don't get it either.

Do you have vista control for vb6?? P.S and let us know cheers




Thanks for the reply guys. I have a hard luck searching on google trying to get vista aero glass for my software. I'm pretty sure that if the sample one should be available. Please do not give me any impels (E.G to get vista)


I do know that vista has their own aero available but I WANT TO MAKE A SOFTWARE WITH AERO ON IT. It is possible to have it???????????????



Maybe one of those control can do it for me?????????



Let me know thanks

[RobDog888]

As per the PM, AeroGlass is only available on Vista and then also only if your video card supports DirectX 9.0 and above.

[RudiVisser]

Take a look at this, VB6 Does Glass on Vista.

Hopefully you guys are great enough to help me out

As per my quote, AeroGlass is a Vista only theme. You can find other copycat xp themes but aero uses Vista's Desktop Window Manager (dwmapi.dll) which only runs on VISTA.

Ok thanks no worries i am going to get vista soon but how do i put dwmapi.dll on my vb form??????? Do i have to run on it?????????




At least did u test the attachment i sent it and wondering how can i make my menubar to go all back with the menu text goes white?????



Hope to get this resolved

[RobDog888]

Again, you can not use dwmapi.dll on a form or in any other OS other then Vista.
It is not a control at all. The projects attached: one runs using the theme API call so you wont get aero on it without running on Vista. Two, has some issues with it as it didnt run correctly on my Vista system. Had drawing issues and such.

Bottom line, either do all the drawing yourself using GDI APIs or search for some third party product or skin. Other then those two, you need to have Vista.

Ok, as you know i am not good at design or coding. It would help me if u could help to find a sample GDI API one.


As i need for my software so bad, please if you could help thanks

[RobDog888]

That is really allot of coding to do. I dont have that kind of time. A google search should aid you in your search. Perhaps you may want to look into a professional third party control or skinner. They are not free but if you are in a hurry and need something that actually works.

Yeah, a 3rd party would be great. However does the 3rd party skins can give me an idea to make it looks like the real vista??

[RobDog888]

Well as time goes on more and more third part controls/skins will appear. Just a matter of searching and deciding on one you like.

Ok, please can you give me a easy search so i can find a visual basic 3rd party skins which looks like a real vista but with the forms on it




thanks

[RobDog888]

That is up to you. I have no idea what ecactly you want or the price levels you want to pay. Come on you need to put some kind of effort into your own google search. Trty "Vista", "Aero", "Glass", and/or "Skin" etc.

Later

[mick18uk7]

have already tried it but no luck :

[RobDog888]

Just because you want something does not mean it exists either You just need to keep searching and if you dont find anything perhaps try again in a few months.

Cant you help me to find a subclass to exchange the titlebar?? Also, you have never answer to my following post. Please can you tell me how i could exchange the colour from the menubar, e.g to exchange from grey to black. How could I do that??

[penagate]

Mate please don't bump your threads like that, it's extremely rude.

How about you have a crack at searching for this stuff on Google.

I think it's a bad idea to impose a Vista theme on people that aren't using Vista anyway.

I am really apology for being rude


A crack search would be nice but i need help to find the vista theme which i am running on win 2000. Advice from you which would be much appreciate.



Thanks

[penagate]

If you're running it why do you need to find it?

Also by "crack" I meant "have a go" as in have a go at searching yourself. Actual cracks/hacks are not topics to be discussed on VBForums.

[Seraphino]

Heh, I actually enjoyed reading all the comments posted on this post. Thanks for making me laugh you guys .

(Not being rude, but, come on)

Also, I am guessing that you do not speak english, so, why not try searching google in your own language?

Anyway, I'm running visual basic 6 on win 2k. It is possible to get third party with vista glass on it???????? If you have any info please post it here.



Thanks

I would strongly suggest removing that picture. Posting such things is against the AUP:

Perhaps, but it still won't be to the same effect as actual glass!
