TcxLookAndFeelController.Kind Property

Specifies the default basic look & feel style for DevExpress controls.

Declaration

property Kind: TcxLookAndFeelKind read; write; default cxDefaultLookAndFeelKind;

Property Value

Type	Default
TcxLookAndFeelKind	cxDefaultLookAndFeelKind

Remarks

Use this property to switch between four available basic look & feel styles for all controls. These basic styles define how a control’s UI elements look like in different states, such as idle, focused, clicked, etc. Refer to the TcxLookAndFeelKind type description for details.

The Kind property value defines the appearance of an application only if the NativeStyle property is set to False, and the SkinName property is set to an empty string. The LookAndFeel.Kind property of an individual control overrides the Kind property.

Enclose code that performs multiple look & feel setting changes between the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate procedure calls to avoid excessive redraw operations.

Note

Alternatively, you can use the Kind property accessible via a RootLookAndFeel global function call.

The Kind property’s default value is cxDefaultLookAndFeelKind global constant.
