13. Go to CBaseDialog::OnInitDialog and add these lines:

    char m_skin[512];
    sprintf(m_skin, "<Your Skin Name>");
    
    // If you want a menu < Activate to Right click > add this line
    SetMenuID(IDR_MAINMENU);

Controlling Buttons Click, Trackbar, ProgressBar, Text, etc.

If you want these events in the Base Class (CSkinDialog):

1. void ProgresChanged(CString m_Name); // If progress changes
2. void MouseMoved(CString m_ButtonName, int x, int y); // if Mouse Moved
3. void TrackChange(CString m_ButtonName, UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos); // if Trackbar change
4. void ButtonPressed(CString m_ButtonName); // if Button Pressed

you should add these functions to your CBaseDialog class.

Changing the Tooltip

use Set<xxx>ToolTip function. <xxx> is Button, Text...
For example:

SetButtonToolTip("BUTTON_USEEQ", "Equalizer is On");

Getting Value

use Get<xxx> function
For example:

BOOL useEQ = GetButtonCheck("BUTTON_USEEQ"); // if BUTTON_USEEQ checked

Setting Value

use Set<xxx> function
For example:

SetButtonCheck("BUTTON_USEEQ", useEQ); // if useEQ = True BUTTON_USEEQ is checked
