Hi,

I used the template for Visual studio 2005 in C# to build an interface plugin. Unfortunatly the buttons do not skin themself based on the skin applyed in MC.

This is what I have :

This is what I am trying to achieve:

There is basic skinning behavior in the template for the background and foreground color of controls, but I think button don'T have any forground and background color. Heres is a snippet :

Code: [Select]

// Setting the Fore- and Backcolors of all Controls (if different)
private void setAllColors(Control control)
{
while (control != null)
{
setBackColor(control, getColor("Tree", "BackColor"));
setForeColor(control, getColor("Tree", "TextColor"));
control = mainPanel.GetNextControl(control, true);
}
}
Any help to achieve a skinned button will be gladly appreciated

Thx

Still in top of thread so useless to bump to top, but still no answers yet. Any dev on MC could help on this and http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=49412.0 ? Community seem to have no answer for me.

.NET buttons are owner-draw (meaning .NET skins them), so our skinning engine leaves them alone.

You would have to use a standard Windows button (not owner draw) to get it to skin.

From an answer I got on Stackoverflow

The controls in Windows.Forms are not owner-drawn, but rather system-drawn.

Note that when I set the button to flat style, I get the right background color and text color, but button doesn't have the rounded corner and their is no hover effect on those. As I write those line it's the best I was able to achieve.
