Hi!

You cannot skin default VFP object. You can simulate VFP objects though by using window (form) object without title bar. This would work only for modeless windows though. And you can also use certain ActiveX controls (MS has a set of ActiveX controls for forms, that include buttons), that are also represented by Windows window and thus allows skinning. Once you have ability to place a button on the form with windows handle for its window, you can also do with it anything that allows Windows API functions. This include also a skinning.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
