    Does any one know how to change some controls (ex. How the button look, or the progress bar ). After a long search the best I found is GUIgui from nopcode.com but the problem is there using a Lib to do that and the skins are in a separate file(s) that you have to add with your App Plus it’s all managed from an INI file . they have some samples but there full projects that you have to trace to find what you need. I only need to change three controls ( buttons, progress bar, Dialog frame(background) ). I think one way of doing it is to create a non-rectangular shape of the control and fill it with a bitmap , but this may only work for buttons. You can download GUIgui from http://www.nopcode.com/guigui/index.shtml In any way you can PLEASE help nass121@yahoo.com :confused:

There are several examples of owner-drawn buttons here (check out the dropdown-menu buttons especially) at CP. Progress bars are pretty simple controls to draw (frame + progress meter). You can paint a custom background in a dialog in the WM_ERASEBKGND message - again I'm sure there are examples here at CP in the Dialogs section. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Is history an illusion caused by the passage of time, or is time an illusion caused by the passage of history?
