Why the image doesn't show when I specify an image for PictureBox in VB6.0 program and beautify UI with AppFace ?

Please call the below to display the image for VB6.0 PictureBox control :

SkinWindowSet(picturebox1.hWnd,0) ;

Please see bug lists AFB004 for more about this issue .

Why my VB 6.0 IDE appearance looks strangely after loaded skins ?

Please run the application which produced by "Make EXE" command rather than run "Run" command. Because AppFace will skin all the windows in the target process aftert loaded skins successfully .

I call the interface functions correctly,but why I load skins failed ?

Please load URF skin files with the full path for VB6.0 . It seems like:

SkinStart("c:\yoururf.urf",2,"YourPubliclicenseCode",1,0,0)

When I change the VB6.0 button/radio/checkbox caption text,why the skinning appearance is not automatically updated ?

You should send a WM_PAINT message to the button after changed the caption text in VB6.0 .

Please reference the steps:

1. Declare SendMessage (Win API) in the head of the module:

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Any) As Long

2. Run this line after changing the button caption text

SendMessage button1.hWnd, 15, 0, "" 'WM_PAINT

Please see Bugs list AFB002

I call SkinStart in main window "form load" event , and the program runs correctly , but an error occures when the process exit !

We recommend create a main module,make it bootable,and call SkinStart to load skins here instead of doing it in "form load" event .It is important for Visual Basic 6.0 ( VB6.0 )progarm that load skins before created the first window .Please remember that call SkinRemove to release the resource before the application terminated.
