.NET Framework Issue

Skinning Group Boxes (WB 4)

Hi!


I've seen that with all the skins that I apply, my Group Boxes in Applications that run on the Microsoft .NET Framework get wrongly rendered: the Group Box's border line appears also on top of the Box's text, where instead, the border line shouldn't render.


Any idea on how to fix that out?


Thanks!

I don't know how to answer you....I wish I could help but I don't know enough....personally I think all the .NET stuff is just more configuring of something I know nothing about while it takes up space on the hard drive of my old computer trying to run on a slow dial up.

Speaking of .NET......I tried again for the second time to upload some wallpaper to submit and I got this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Just curious as to what you mean by the group boxes and border lines. Only apps I use that use .net are paint.net and such. Nothing that I can see the boxes (or maybe I'm not recognizing them) - can you post a screen shot (needs to be uploaded to a hosting site first (like photobucket or others) then the http url copied then pasted here when you click image.

Footsie...not to worry on the framework, don't think that's the issue with your uploads...I've been on dialup going on 3 yrs. If you're using a dialup accelerator, try disabling it and uploading. And I've geen getting server busy messages when trying to view other posts couple with a stack trace every once in a while.

This is an old post, but it is still an issue...



When he is referring to group boxes, he means the group box control in the .NET framework. The best way to explain what is happening is to show a pic, so here goes:

As the pictures show:

This is the 5imple skin included with WindowsBlinds 5.01, but it happens on every skin that I have applied (some worse than others).

I am not sure if this help but someone I knew who was using WB4 with NET frameworks apps having problem with my skin. In her case the button text keep shift/wrap itself down to second line on my skin buttons. The problem was solve once she upgrade to WB5.0. Maybe you can try that.

The developer of said .Net app(s) failed to set the groupbox's FlatStyle property to "System" instead of "Standard". I feel that WB should handle this better and that developers shouldn't have to bother with that, but that's how it works.
