TcxContainerStyle Class

The base class for control style setting classes.

Declaration

TcxContainerStyle = class(
    TcxInterfacedPersistent,
    IdxSkinSupport
)

Style settings define base control appearance as well as control appearance in different states, such as read-only, hot-tracked, disabled, etc.

The list below outlines key members of the TcxContainerStyle class that allow you to customize control appearance.

Color | BorderColor | TransparentBorder: Specify background and border colors.
Edges | BorderStyle: Allow you to hide or display individual borders (left, right, top, and bottom) and switch between available line styles.
Font | TextColor | TextStyle: Allow you to customize text appearance settings.
LookAndFeel: Provide access to look & feel settings. You can use this property to apply a skin to a control and/or its different states.
Shadow: Specifies if the shadow effect is enabled.

BaseStyle: Provides access to the base style used as the source of default settings in the current style. This property returns nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder) if the current style is a base style.
HotTrack | ReadOnly: Specify if corresponding child styles are enabled for hot-tracked and read-only control states.

Note
HotTrack and ReadOnly properties are in effect only if the current style defines base control appearance settings (that is, the State property returns cxNormal).
State: Returns the control state associated with the current style.

ActiveStyleController | StyleController: Provide access to the parent style controller.

Tip
To apply the same style settings to multiple editors, you can use a TcxEditStyleController component. If you need to apply the same style settings to all editors in your application, you can use a TcxDefaultEditStyleController component.
AssignedValues: Allows you to track the state of individual style settings and reset them.
BeginUpdate | EndUpdate: Allow you to avoid excessive redraw operations during batch style setting changes.
RestoreDefaults: Restores default appearance settings.

Do not use the TcxContainerStyle class directly. Use the TcxEditStyle class instead.
