Style Customization

This topic describes how the pivot grid’s appearance can be customized with styles.

To meet the requirement for painting each visual element individually, the ExpressPivotGrid control offers a set of events. Below is a list of the pivot grid’s elements whose styles can be customized by handling the related events:

The style sheet is a way to save your time and efforts when you need to apply consistent style schemes to a control (see the Styles.StyleSheet property).

And lastly, the LookAndFeel controller component (see the TcxLookAndFeelController) – is a powerful mechanism for using a common look and feel.
