   [.net] Skinning C# applications...
  Hello,I've been trying to research possible ways of skinning applications in C#. I've searched and searched but there's so little information out there. I heard that you could do it by overriding the Paint function for various controls? Right, wrong?Any links to resources would be helpful too.Thanks in advance.   
  If you are talking about Windows Forms application: yes that is 'a' way of doing it.Take a look at Windows Presentation Foundation if you want a glimps of the nearby future. Templates allow you to change the entire UI of controls.Cheers   ;  Ernow the link that you gave is for 3.0 Net stuff, still in beta, I think the person might want something that they can use now.theTroll   ;  Overriding OnPaint on existing controls is one way to do it, and probably the easiest and "best" way, since controls will still act like standard Windows controls.One other option is to build a control completely from scratch, by deriving from the Control class and do all painting and input handling yourself. This is the Hard Way.To create forms and controls with custom shapes, I suggest reading this article: http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_misc/graphicsandimages/article.php/c4259/;Quote:Original post by TheTrollErnow the link that you gave is for 3.0 Net stuff, still in beta, I think the person might want something that they can use now.theTrollI know. Beta 2 at the moment. It doesn't hurt to look forward or to steal some ideas of upcomming technologies...
