Skins for supporting pages

It seems like supporting pages for custom modules use the default skin of the site.  Is it possible to have them inherit the skin from the page where the module?

For example, say I have a "Location search" page and a "Locator" module installed on that page.  The module might have a Details.aspx page (which has the pageid and mid params in the querystring).  The Details.aspx page doesn't seem to be taking the skin that the Location search page has?

Am I missing something here, or has anyone found a way to do this?

Thanks!
Matt

Re: Skins for supporting pages

Hi Matt,

Put this in your supporting page. As long as you are passing in the pageid to your supporting page this should do it.

protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
AllowSkinOverride = true;
base.OnPreInit(e);
}

Hope that helps,

Joe
