Hi,

I run the windows application and then on the desktop right click and bring up the properties. Goto Appearance tab, under the windows and buttons dropdown select windows classic, under color scheme select pumpkin.

Now the Appearence of the application is totally changed. Is there any way to restrict this?

You could draw all the controls yourself. Alot of controls you can set the colours on and so fix thier look but even with those there are often colours you don't have control over.

It also depends on the language you are writing the app in.

You could buy a commercial skinning library.

Nasty schemes like that are useful for putting on servers ... that way no one can say "I didn't realise I was on the server!" lol

When you set colours for your forms and controls use web colours, not system colours. Web colours are absolute RGB values, system colours use whatever the windows colours are set to.

Google is your friend.

And don't cross post, the C# forum was the right place to ask. If you follow the articles and tutorials from google then come back and ask more questions when your stuck on a specific problem and people will have no problem in helping you work through it.

Problem with Treeview

Hi,

I am using a treeview control to show image on each node depending on a particular variable's value (green if it is set and red if not. Bydefault red)

When I am setting the variable for a particular node then the node's image is changed to green(required behavior). But when I click on a node which has green image, the node's image is automatically changing to red and again changing back to green after changing the node selection.

Please help me in solving this problem.

Thanks:
Rakesh
