My response was to you (JohnBank). I had just finished saying that “I have decided not to use Extended borders” when I got your reply insisting that “You must be interested”. Well, I am really not. I was offering to create the sample for the developer – but only if he was interested in pursuing it further.

FYI I don't have a problem posting demos (see thread ” ExtendedBorders + Maximize button + V. 6.48 + D2007, Does not maximize”). However I am getting a little tired of having to “prove” there is a bug every time I report one…

You must be interested,not he.If you want to solve the problem then provide as much information as possible!

Thanks for such a valuable contribution…

Hello,

It is really not hard to duplicate. Any simple project in D2007 will do it.

I have decided not to use Extended borders because they seem to be problematic, but if you are really interested in solving the problem I will create a simple demo app for you…

Hello
Are you sure that latest skins are used?
If you have internal skins in the project, then they must be updated too.

I double-checked on all test machines, and the latest (6.60) skins are used in all cases. For instance Sapphire.asz is dated Dec 3, 2009.

p.s. these issues do not seem to be present on Vista.

Just another confirm: TPanel is *not* skinned at all in 6.45 (windows XP SP 2 or 3). Just shows as a white rectanble, no matter which skin is used.

Thanks – that's good to hear. It looks like a powerful app that a lot of work went into. It just needs documentation to be able to use it to its full potential.

Can you describe the use of the TL.BMP (top left) in the Beijing sklin?

I found alphaskinmaking.doc – but is there something a little more detailed? For instance about the use of the TL.BMP (top left) in the Beijing sklin.

I really appreciate the tip – thanks!

Thanks – the TJSDialog uses a TForm on XP to emulate the Vista TaskDialog, so using the below worked to show the dialog as normal:

sSkinManager1.SkinningRules := sSkinManager1.SkinningRules – [srStdForms];
..show dialog
sSkinManager1.SkinningRules := sSkinManager1.SkinningRules + [srStdForms];

Now I need to learn how I can skin the dialog so that it matches the current skinning. I might need to just replace the TJSDialog component and go back to regular dialog boxes.

I decided to completely re-install Delphi 5, and once that was done I no longer get the error!

So it had nothing to do with your product, and seems like something corrupt in the D5 install. I am very sorry for any confusion caused!

The product really is quite beautiful, by the way <img src="style_emoticons//smile.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:)” border=”0″ alt=”smile.gif” />
