Hi Soft,
This is nice! Thanks for your work on this.
I'm encountering a small issue though. On my system (Win 7 64 bit, ahk 1.1.16.05 ANSI 32), if I add for example a FileSelectFile command to the button in your example, the address bar of the FileSelectFile window doesn't show correctly (there is a black bar surrounding it). To reproduce, add "gSelectFile" as a g-label for the Button on your Gui, then add somewhere:
Can you reproduce this issue? If yes, can anything be done about this?

@joedf / I saw some parts of source but couldnt find the file. and the article was written in chinese
@lblb / I just tested FileSelectFile window, and it was fine for me
tested script (used 'Ayofe.msstyles')

Hi Soft,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Did you have Windows Aero turned on during your test? It seems like the bug shows up only when Aero is on. See the attached animated gif. You can see that the address bar has an unwanted black box around it. Also, when I resize the FileSelectFile, you can see that there are all kinds of artifacts that show up. While resizing, a black contour around the FileSelectFile window sometimes shows up. Also, you can see that on the right edge of the FileSelectFile window there are some dark marks that appear from time to time.
Thanks in advance for any input you may have.

Could U write some ways to support .Skn skin file?
Re: GUI Skinning Methods
Posted: 04 Feb 2015, 02:58
@huyaowen / I dont know about .skn file. Where can I find .skn file?
with dll and c++ source maybe I can help you

.skn and .ssk can also used for changing skin.
FSViewer.exe is an example.but I don't know much.
Can you dig dig and dig it?

SkinH is a shareware. Unregistered version will have a small T-shirt icon in the title bar and menu.
There is a SHEditor.exe in the official downloads, which can used to create or edit the .she skin file. It also can convert .msstyles file to .she file .
SkinH supports loading .she skin from memory, then by using HotkeyIt's _MemoryLibrary we can generate a standalone exe (contains dll and .she in it).
Some .she skins (49 files)

A little technique I use to add USkin to any UI:
In your C:\Program Files\Autohotkey\Lib folder, Make a Uskin folder and place inside it your Uskin.dll and msstyles files.
In the main lib folder, make a file USkin.ahk, paste in the following code and alter to your needs:
Add the code #include *i <USkin> to the start of any script you wish to try USkin with.
The *i means it will skip if file not found, so if you give someone else the script and forget to take the include out, no biggie, it will ignore the include and they will just get normal ahk gui.
This means you can use Uskin in GitHub repos without having it as a dependency.
By the way, USkin does not seem to play well with scrollable GUIs. any ideas on that?

SkinForm(Apply, dll, Style)

if(Param1 = Apply){
DllCall("LoadLibrary", str, DLL)
DllCall(DLL . "\USkinInit", Int,0, Int,0, AStr, SkinName)
}else if(Param1 = 0){
DllCall(DLL . "\USkinExit")
}

Same technique, but for SkinSharp:
put files in C:\Program Files\Autohotkey\Lib\SkinSharp, include with #include *i <SkinSharp>
Unlike USkin, SkinSharp does NOT break ScrollGui
Code: Select all
; set path to files here
path := "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib\SkinSharp\"
; Set style
Style := path "aero.she"
; Do not edit below here
dll := path "SkinH_EL.dll"
DllCall("LoadLibrary", str, dll) ;Opens the DLL
DllCall(dll "\SkinH_AttachEx", AStr, Style, Str,"mhgd")
Unlike USkin, SkinSharp does NOT break ScrollGui

I suggest you to make a mirror for the download link, because in the past we had sooo many broken links when autohotkey.net is down.
I don't say that your personal blog will be down, but nobody knows the future, so I suggest you to make a mirror to prevent that thing from happening again
