How do I use the EnableSkinning function to disable skinning of my plugins? Ever since MC12 began better skinning of plugins, the file list coloring doesn't work. So I decided to use the EnableSkinning function to disable it. But I can't figure out where to call it.

'lil help?

Ideally:

pMJ->EnableSkinning(FALSE)
.. create control + child controls ..
pMJ->EnableSkinning(TRUE)

Another approach would be to have a registry value for a plugin like "DisableSkinning" that could be set to 1.  If this is desired, let us know and we'll hook it up.

[Doof]

Yeah, I think I'm calling it right... I'm just having a hell of a time figuring out when to call it. The registry setting might be a good idea.

Mr Chriz? You're the .NET guru around here...

pMJ->EnableSkinning(FALSE)

Should work fine with .NET, I'd guess call it here
pMJ->EnableSkinning(FALSE)
InitializeComponent ( );
pMJ->EnableSkinning(TRUE)

Haven't got time to play around with it at the moment....

Just got back from a garage where I had some work done on my car last year.
They bodged it up, they're even admitting they bodged it up, but they won't fix it
because it's was 15 months ago, and the warranty's 12 months or 12000 miles whichevers
first.  I've done 10,000 miles.  The fact that it was bodged only became apparent
on the MOT on monday.  What frustrates me is it was a fairly expensive garage too,
normally i take it to the cheapest one I can find, but at the time it was critical to get it back
on the road. Not what I need 2 days before I leave the continent.

[Doof]

Yeah, I tried that. I got the infamous 'Interface Plug-in 'Lyrics Editor' could not be found or created".

[Doof]

So how about that registry setting, Matt?

[Mr ChriZ]

Doof.  Don't know if you're still having problems here.
Just had another play with this in a plugin I'm working on.
What you need to do is move
 InitializeComponent from the constructor
to the Init method so it looks something like this:
public void Init ( MediaJukebox.MJAutomation mediaCenterReference )
{   
      try
      {                 
                this.mediaCenterReference = mediaCenterReference;
                this.mediaCenterReference.EnableSkinning(0);
                InitializeComponent();
                this.mediaCenterReference.EnableSkinning(1);
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
               MessageBox.Show ( "A Fatal error has occured while creating CS Template plugin:-" + e.Message +
                                "\n The Failure Occured" +
                                "\n In Class Object " + e.Source +
                                "\n when calling Method " + e.TargetSite +
                                "\n \n The following Inner Exception was caused" + e.InnerException +
                                "\n \n The Stack Trace Follows: \n\n" + e.StackTrace );
                        this.Enabled = false;
      }
      //Placing anything outside of this
      //try catch may cause MC to fail to open.
      //Play safe and insert it in the try area!
}
