Hello
You can catch the SM_ALPHACMD message with AC_REFRESH parameter which gets in form WndProcedure (AC_GETSKINSTATE used for other purposes).
Can you do that?

Can you do that?

I can, but it doesn't work: the one and only message that ever gets through (to frame's WindProc) is this AC_GETSKINSTATE. I don't get AC_REFRESH at all.

Maybe it is so because the Frame is created with nil Owner? But controls on frame do work regardless… TsFrameProvider is created dynamically (in Create).

WndProc looks like that

CODE

public
procedure WndProc (var Message: TMessage); override;

procedure TfrBaseMBS.WndProc(var Message: TMessage);
begin
// FIXME doesn't work too good: some skins never fire that; it is fired twice + when destroying
if (Message.Msg = SM_ALPHACMD) And (Message.WParamHi = AC_GETSKINSTATE) then // AC_REFRESH doesn't work
if Not (csDestroying in ComponentState) then begin
SkinChanging;
MessageBeep(MB_ICONASTERISK) // DEBUG
end;
inherited;
end;

I also noticed that AC_GETSKINSTATE sometimes doesn't fire at all: eg. when switching from 'Cold” to “Elegant” (works for “Gray Plastic”);

Thanks anyway 🙂

PS. I need a break. I end natural language sentences with “;”… 😀

Hi again
If you send me a project with example then I'll try to find a best solution and problem will be solved I think

Yo,

I tried, but it's not so easy to replicate me thinks … Simple project works, and since I cannot send you my actual one, it's kinda hopeless. I did manage though: defined app-wide global interface to skinmanager which pings its clients when change occurs.

Regards

M.
