Dear Silvio,

VB uses .NET and probably that example is using WPF too, which can only be used from .NET

Probably the only way you can use WPF from FWH is using https://github.com/FiveTechSoft/fivenet

This way we can call VBS code from FWH, now if we could use WPF from VBS...

test.vbs
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
MsgBox( "Welcome from VBS" )
vbs.prg
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd := WaitRun( "wscript.exe test.vbs" )

   MsgInfo( "ok" )

return nil
regards, saludos

Or we could run your VB EXE, grab its window handle and manage it from FWH...

See this:

https://github.com/dutts/wpfmdi
Themes
WPF MDI includes two themes, Luna (XP) and Aero (Vista & 7) as well as support for custom themes. Themes are used depending on the operating system, although a theme can be set at compile and/or run time also.

There are four styles supported directly by WPF: Classic, Luna, Royale and Aero.
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
The following is a sample using all of these four themes.

<StackPanel>
        <Button  Content="luna" Height="40" Width="100">
            <Button.Resources>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Luna;v3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/luna.normalcolor.xaml"/>
            </Button.Resources>
        </Button>

        <Button  Content="Aero" Height="40" Width="100">
            <Button.Resources>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Aero;v3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/Aero.normalcolor.xaml"/>
            </Button.Resources>
        </Button>

        <Button  Content="Royale" Height="40" Width="100">
            <Button.Resources>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Royale;v3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/royale.normalcolor.xaml"/>
            </Button.Resources>
        </Button>

        <Button  Content="Classic" Height="40" Width="100">
            <Button.Resources>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Classic;v3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/classic.xaml"/>
            </Button.Resources>
        </Button>
    </StackPanel>

Dear Silvio,

Here you have the EXE already built in case you want to test it:

Dear Silvio,

This is just an idea and needs to enhance FWH Class TSkin, but see the results :-) (you must run it from FWH samples folder)
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "Fivewin.ch"

function Main()

    local oWnd, oWndChild

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "Class TSKIN demo" MDI
   
   DEFINE WINDOW oWndChild MDICHILD OF oWnd STYLE nOr( WS_CHILD, WS_THICKFRAME )
   oWndChild:bInit := {|| Skin( oWndChild, "blue_skin" ) }
   
   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWndChild
    
   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd 

return nil
regards, saludos
