And we will do our best to simulate more software features, narrow the gap between the software and the real software Demos. These demos will show that dskinlite is extensible and stable.

In window gui programming, the skin of dialog is the main problem. It is difficult to resolve the problem to a newer. Because Win32 doesn’t provide a method to skin all parting of the dialog. We should consider the system menu, maximize, minimise box, border and the client area, and we need to deal with all the messages which will cause the redraw of dialog.
There are two methods to skin the dialog, one is removing the WS_CAPTION style of dialog, and the other doesn’t do such operation. There are two reasons to remove the WS_CAPTION style, first this can make the dialog skinning simple and more efficient, second you can move the child control to the caption area. In dskinlite, the SKIN_TYPE_DIALOG uses this mode, and we recommend you use this mode if it is enough to you. In this mode all of the area is client area, so you just can get a “virtual” client area which used to contain the child controls. As you can set the caption height, top edge of client area value. So you need to use the dsGetClientRect api to get the correct “virtual” client area.
The other method will retain the WS_CAPTION style, in the mode, dialog’s style will not be changed. So you can use the GetClientRect to get the correct client region. In dskinlite, SKIN_TYPE_DIALOGEX uses this mode. If you want to make no change to your dialog after calling dsSkinWindow. You can use this mode.
