>With the makers of VFP Skins 3 seemingly out of business and their website closed, I was looking at product called Foxface. The demo only shows 1 example, and their website -- not in English -- does not seem to have a place to actually buy the product. Anyone have a status on them?

Skinning controls in VFP is a real pain in the neck. The problem is that unlike VB and C#, all those controls are not really 'windows' like they are in the other languages - thus the VFP controls don't have a windows-handle. What this means is that any of the skinning activex's and such you find for the other languages are not going to work with VFP.

I haven't messed with VFP Skins in a long time so I don't know the status of that company anymore...and I've never tried the Foxface one.
