What is the key points when call SkinStart ?

• Load URF skin files by full path.
• Select a different value based on the development tools,instead of using WINDOW_TYPE_AUTOFILTER always

SkinRemove, is it required?

SkinRemove is used to end all the user interface customized works of appface.dll,and release all the resource which appface.dll allocated . It has no bad effects when some applications exit without calling SkinRemove,but we recommend strongly that developers should call SkinRemove before the process was terminated . It is a good habit for programing and can avoid some unexpected errors .

I want to draw a wnidow manually after loading AppFace,how to do it?

Call
SkinWindowSet(hWnd,0) ; //SKIN_CLASS_NOSKIN
to unskin the window firstly, then draw it's user interface manually

I want to draw a window with the same background which the current URF skin used, how to do it?

Call
SkinWindowSet(hWnd,0) ; //SKIN_CLASS_NOSKIN
to unskin the window firstly, then draw the background manually with BkCreate ,BkDelete and BkDraw. These three customizable functions exist in AUDK 1.3 and the later versions only . Please see the PinOutLookBar demo project to learn how to do it.
