Code Example: Change Appearance for Multiple Editors

The following code example uses a TcxEditStyleController component to override a global skin for three spin editors:

Delphi

uses
  cxEdit,  // Declares the TcxEditStyleController class
  cxSpinEdit, // Declares the TcxSpinEdit class
  cxTextEdit,  // Declares the TcxTextEdit class
  dxSkinsForm; // Declares the TdxSkinController class
// ...

procedure TMyForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  dxSkinController1.SkinName := 'WXICompact';  // Specifies a skin at the global level
  // Specify a different skin for an edit style controller component
  cxEditStyleController1.Style.LookAndFeel.SkinName := 'Office2019Black';
  // Associate a style controller with three spin editors
  cxSpinEdit1.Style.StyleController := cxEditStyleController1;
  cxSpinEdit2.Style.StyleController := cxEditStyleController1;
  cxSpinEdit3.Style.StyleController := cxEditStyleController1;
end;

C++

#include "cxEdit.hpp"  // Declares the TcxEditStyleController class
#include "cxSpinEdit.hpp"  // Declares the TcxSpinEdit class
#include "cxTextEdit.hpp" // Declares the TcxTextEdit class
#include "dxSkinsForm.hpp"  // Declares the TdxSkinController class

// ...

void __fastcall TMyForm::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{
  dxSkinController1->SkinName = "WXICompact";  // Specifies a skin at the global level
  // Specify a different skin for an edit style controller component
  cxEditStyleController1->Style->LookAndFeel->SkinName = "Office2019Black";
  // Associate a style controller with three spin editors
  cxSpinEdit1->Style->StyleController = cxEditStyleController1;
  cxSpinEdit2->Style->StyleController = cxEditStyleController1;
  cxSpinEdit3->Style->StyleController = cxEditStyleController1;
}
