Type | Description |
---|---|
Tcx |
Stores global look & feel settings for supported controls and application forms. |
#Remarks
The RootLookAndFeel
global function returns a TcxLookAndFeel class instance created at application startup in a project built with DevExpress controls. This class instance stores application-wide (global or root) look & feel settings, such as the active skin, render mode, scrollbar type, etc. Corresponding settings at the level of individual controls have higher priority than global look & feel settings.
Refer to the TcxLookAndFeel class description for detailed information on all look & feel settings accessible through the RootLookAndFeel
global function.
