skinning MFC applications
I have seen some cool applications with great looking skins. I'm new to MFC and I want to create an application with the capability of changing skins. How is it done in MFC? I've checked some tutorials but are a bit outdated. Thanks...
Solution
MFC in general is outdated, but you probably already know this. If you are willing to pay up, there seems to be a vendor that provides skinning component. See BCGSoft.
An alternative maybe to look for other platform such as Mozilla's XULRunner framework, which Songbird (Developer Center) is based on. See Appearance Add-on and The Joy of XUL.
