[Seraph]

what?

lol

I'm wondering if he wants to "skin" his program?
Maybe look into WPF?

[weirddemon]

WPF is probably your best option. Most people new to this concept, just want a quick method to just "add" something to their application, but it doesn't quite work that way.

This question has been asked a billion times and one. though. You should do some forum searches and you'll find additional suggestions.

That's what I would like to think, except for him saying this:

If he skins his app then it'll ignore the windows theme, but if he wants it to have the windows theme, he's not skinning it. So I don't know what to think as for what he wants..

[stateofidleness]

what?

lmao. that is EXACTLY what I was thinking after I read the OP lol

[Jupping]

what's do you want to say?sorry i don't understand you

[JuggaloBrotha]

Jupping, basically you're wanting to mimic Office 2007's skin and layout in your app(s)?

First off you'll need to find a Ribbon control, .Net doesn't have one built into the framework (yet) for us to use, but there are plenty of them made for .Net out there, the really good ones will need to be purchased though.

Most ribbon control's I've seen take care of skinning the rest of your app for you and you can always tweak things further as you see fit.

for use this code

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

i get error at SkinFramework1
How to use it?
