I am using AlphaControls 8.32 and want to skin the various THtmlViewer controls in my application. I see that there are a few questions in the forums about this but no real explanation for a new person. What is the best way to do this? Just adding it to the Skin Manager ThirdParty list resulted in a crash when the program tried to run.

Thanks in advance, Rob C

Hello!

I have one idea only at the moment: change all “TScrollBar” to “TsScrollBar” in the HtmlView.pas file.

Don't forget add “sScrollBar” in the “uses” clause there.

Wow, that worked really well and it only took 5 minutes! It isn't very often that I get that lucky.

Something that I was already doing was to set the THtmlViewer.DefBackground to sSkinManager1.gd[sMemo1.SkinData.SkinIndex].Color so that the background colour of the THMTL component matched the memocolour in my Alpha skin. I used the memo control because that worked well in my app but I could have sourced the colour from any of the other controls too if I had wanted to using the same technique.

Thanks for your help, cheers, Rob C
