Welcome to VBForums.com

Kindly give me the attractive look for my form named frmmain which is attached with this.

I didn't understand what you mean by this...???
You are asking for designing..huh...???

[akhileshbc]

Try using Photoshop, if you wish to develop some background image... I mean interface...

If you wanted to use colourful CommandButtons, then try using prjChameleon.ocx. It will give you many nice looking colourful buttons...

If you wish to add some Flash animations, then try to use the ShockwaveFlash object... eg. for displaying animation of phone ringing , etc...

I made the background(including the text) using Photoshop(then exported as JPEG) and the buttons used are prjChameleon buttons....

ahm nah..i guess the skin youve share on us programmantation is for the IDE right? coz when i compiled my program into an exe the skin disappear..

[akhileshbc]

The ocx file included needs to be registered... Or copy it in the same folder of EXE

[Condomx]

is the ocx have expired date...coz it said something like "you dont have the license to use this"..

[akhileshbc]

is the ocx have expired date...coz it said something like "you dont have the license to use this"..

So, you have to buy the control... More details are available in the link:

ai damn...no thank you..i though it was for free,,nah for me now that skin is ugly hehehe coz its not free...bleh :-p

[akhileshbc]

Did you check the links posted in post no. #14 ?

[ThEiMp]

Well you have to spend something to make something worth while, that is what I always say!!

[Condomx]

yes i been checked the links posted in #14,but they are not fit on what i was looking for..TY

[akhileshbc]

Then try something like what I posted in post no. #17..
Or switch to the dot net version... I think there are many user interface designing tools available with that... like, Microsoft Expressions Tools (an example is Nokia PC Suite v7 Interface)..

Good luck

hello brother,

you can use the microsoft theme styles Like Luna .. etc

you can get the MSStyles From this path :

C:\Windows\Resources\Theme

but some of msstyles not working !

and this is a very good 14 style for you and all of them working very good

this is a three style from them for example







Download the 14 Styles from Here

but when you using the msstyles you will use this extension for the styles :

.msstyles

for example :

SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path + "/Luna.msstyles", ""
SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow hWnd
SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = frmAddItem.SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics

You welcome brother

[akhileshbc]

I think there is something you should see... Check this link:
http://www.codejock.com/products/nfr_license.asp

It is NFR License (Not For Sale)... You can use them for demonstration purpose, but not for commercial purpose...

SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path + "/Luna.msstyles", ""
SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow hWnd
SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = frmAddItem.SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics

[ThEiMp]

SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Luna.msstyles", ""

You have to add the skinframework control from Components window (ctrl+T or Project menu--> Components)...

And what is the error... ???

[Jupping]

what's components i have to add?
this is my code

 SkinFramework1.LoadSkin(Application.StartupPath + "/Luna.msstyles", "")
        SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow(hWnd)
        SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = frmAddItem.SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics

error
SkinFramework1 is not declared
hwnd is not declared
xtpSkinApplyMetrics is not declared

How to add component? Go to Project -> Add component -> and then?

[MartinLiss]

You have to add the skinframework control from Components window (ctrl+T or Project menu--> Components)...

Sorry, I thought, you have that OCX file...

You have to get the dll or ocx file from their website (it is not free. but their sample file contains a trial version...).

I had posted the links(from where you can download the samples) in one of the above posts(post #23)....

[Condomx]

HAHAH...for those who have trouble in using skinframework,here's my help:first you must have the OCX or DLL of skinframework if you dont have then download it here http://www.4shared.com/file/13523905...ativeSkin.html ,after you have the OCX browse it by right cliking the tool box then hit components or by just pressing ctrl+t and apply it by clicking on the icon of the ocx and apply it to the forms that you want to be skinned and the last one is put those code on the form and done...


please rate my post coz i am run out of reputation..

After downloading it, copy it to the system folder(System32). Then use Run (Start menu --> Run), and type regsvr32 filenameofocxfile, so that it will be registered. Then, goto the components and add it to the form...

Example:

regsvr32 Codejock.SkinFramework.v12.1.1.ocx

[Jupping]

copy every file to system32 then run regsvr32 Codejock.SkinFramework.v12.1.1.ocx

i get message "DllRegisterServer in Codejock.skin.framework.v12.1.1.ocx Succeeded"

and in project -> Add Component -> what?(Sorry i don't know about Component)

[akhileshbc]

Select Project menu then Components. A new window will appear. From the list, select CodeJock Skinframework (tick mark it)... And press OK... Now Toolbox contains a new tool... Add it to your form...
