Hi Hoang,

simply you add in your form a TdxSkinController component and set the SkinName property.

The class TForm is automatically skinned when you run the project

Hi Hoang,

in this moment the standard Message Box is not supported.

I have developed an my MessageBox system (based on TForm class) and this is skinned correctly.

Best Regards

Skinning is supported for the dialogs that are invoked by the following methods: ShowMessage(), MessageDlg(), InputBox(), and InputQuery().

Hi Alex,

re-sorry ;-)

I re-checked but the ShowMessage() and MessageDlg() are not skinned in my system (Windows Vista 64 with RAD Studio 2009 and DevExpress Suite Build 44).

See image below:

Thank you for the tip. It seems that this problem is peculiar to Windows Vista and RAD Studio 2009 only. We've submitted a corresponding suggestion to our Support Center (see Suggestion ID: S32808). Please track this suggestion to be automatically notified once it's implemented.
