Hello,

first thanks for excellent components. It is really great job.

I tried to use Alpha skins together with TNextDBGrid, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I added TNextDBGrid to 3rd party list and enabled 3rd party skinning,

however the grid stays untouched. Is this grid supported? If not is there any description, how to make it work (I have full source of TNextDBGrid avvailable).

thanks for reply

Hello

If TNextGrid is added into ThirdParty list, then scrolls will be skinned in run-time.

But skinning of other parts (column headers, cells, etc) is not possible now.

Hi,

that is true, scrollbars are skinned correctly, nothing else is touched. As I mentioned above, I have full source (licensed) of TNextGrid and of Alpha Controls. Is there any tutorial or description how to make 3rd party controls working with AlphaSkins?

thanks for reply

You meant a changing of grid colors?

Hello,

never mind, the project i needed this for is already finished.

I was interested in, if thre is any tutorial, or description, how to modify some 3rd party component to follow AlphaSkins skinning.

For example TNextDBGrid support some kind of theming components, so there should be way to create custom theme for this component, which will

call some functions hooked by AlphaSkins. I was interested in these functions – is there any description of what need to be called, so AlphaSkins

can hook painting of custom component?

Thanks in advance

Hello

Implementation of different component might be very different. So, no universal ways for a skinning of controls. SkinManager component has the ThirdParty list where many different supported ways of skinning are presented. Maybe you need a painting procedures of the AlphaControls library?
