_UskinLibrary.au3 (UDF) - Skin with DLL free (no ads) and fully functional!

[UEZ]

Nobody has an idea how the embedded stuff is working (post #86)?

Br,

UEZ

[JScript]

I'm still adding these functions commented on post #86, but you can use as the form below:

---

I use the program ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> to embed the skin, there you will have to use this case as follows:

;
#include "_UskinLibrary.au3"
#include ".SkinsOldSkool.au3"; <-- This is an skin ".msstyles" embedded in .au3.

_Uskin_LoadDLL()
_USkin_Init(_OldSkool(True)); <-- Call in this format!
;

---

See the program documentation ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> for more information about how to call files embedded!

Regards,

João Carlos.

I know this but I don't want to it this way! I want to read it directly from the resource or memory without saving it to disk first and loading it afterwards.

Ok, today I'll post the changes including the native functions of the DLL for that!

it seems that uskin doesn't work with _GUIctrlButton_SetImage. Anyone can confirm that ? is there a way to make it work?

[BrewManNH]

Post the code you're using so that we can see what you're trying and what's not working.

[JScript]

For me it is functioning normally, check the following example:

_GUICtrlButton_SetImage_Skinned.zip

João Carlos.

[jmon]

hello, thank you for your quick answer.

sorry, my bad it's _GuiCtrlButton_SetImageLIST that doesn't work ! the images dissapear. you can try with the example in the help file. What I need is a button with image and text.

_GuiCtrButton_SetImage works well.

[JScript]

Now you're right, it is true, the images disappear!

I'll do some tests and verify the result, then I return...

Regards,

João Carlos.

doesen't work when i compile it, doesent get the skin, but uncompiled works fine

[BrewManNH]

Are you compiling the exe as a 32 bit executable? How are you referencing the skin file in your script?

Also, if you're not using FileInstall on the DLL and the skin files, make sure that your script is point to where they are.

upx was the problem, if I compile without upx, it works just fine

[JScript]

@legend

Note:

Some skins have problems if the program is compiled using UPX compression, to circumvent this problem compile your program with the following options added to the top of the source code:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=0 ;Compression parameter 0-4 0=Low 2=normal 4=High. Default=2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n ;(Y/N) Compress output program. Default=Y

it seems it wont work with winsettrans, any other way to solve that ?

Works normally, see this example:

Hello,

LarsJ helped me solve a problem in post. It works great but when I apply Uskin on this script, then it doesn't work anymore.

I found out that Uskin seems to not fire the WM_DRAWITEM message anymore. Following this post is a small example that demonstrate how the WM_DRAWITEM is not executed.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get WM_DRAWITEM work with Uskin?

To see the example working, try to comment / uncomment the lines 17 and 18.

[EDIT]

I also want to point out that _GUICtrlTab_HighlightItem doesn't work with uskin either, maybe because of the WM_DRAWITEM issue.

Hi!

Unfortunately I have not found solution to this

[jmon]

Hi,

Yes I know, that's a tricky one! Maybe one of the limitation of uskin? I checked your UDF and I guess there is not much we can do about it!

[BrewManNH]

I believe it's a limitation of Windows that if it's skinned the Windows messages are changed. Doing a search on this, I've run across a couple of codeproject pages mentioning a problem like this.

That would be a pity, but seems like you may be right...
