I've really tried looking on a bunch of developer forums for the answer to these questions (primarily the first one), but can't find anything that actually works.

There are two different things I want to do (for different projects).

1. I want to be able to change the theme from within my program. I decided that my for my first Pocket PC 2002 program I wanted to do something simple, so I'm writing an app that lets you search through a directory tree to find a theme, and then apply it. Unfortunately, the "applying it" has turned out to be far more of a challenge than expected!

2. I would like to be able to apply the current theme information to a different program I am writing. This involves extracting the picture and font/title bar color information from the .tsk file whose name I can find by looking in the registry.

I am using eVC, btw.

If anyone could help on either (or both!) points, I would very much appreciate it!
