hi guys,

i have designed some dialogs using wxwidgets under c++ and have stored them in a dll. when i load the dll from my office-addin, i developed with adx vcl 2.5 under delphi 7 i have the following problem:

the dialogs look like this (i assume there's a problem with theming... but the msdn entry only gives me the code for c++, but not for delphi http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830033)

User added an image

the dialogs should look like this (when i don't load them from office (2003, winxp) they look correct:

Hi Lukas,

I am sorry, but no ideas. Have you tried to create a similar DLL with the same dialog under Delphi 7?

hi dmitry,

nope, i can't do that. but i found out that it has nothing to do with theming, as it's the same problem on office xp with win2k.

:(

but thanks for your answer.
