Remarks

We’ve been developing the ThemedWindow class since version 17.1 as a universal alternative to legacy DXWindow/DXRibbonWindow/DXTabbedWindow classes. It uses a more native approach to customize the non-client area and supports a wider variety of use cases. Starting with version 18.2, ThemedWindow can also act as a dialog and has built-in dialog buttons. We’ve also created the ThemedMessageBox class that uses a similar approach as ThemedWindow internally.

DXMessageBoxService now always uses ThemedMessageBox instead of DXMessageBox.

To roll back to the old behavior, set the UseThemedMessageBoxInServices property to false.
