TcxLookAndFeelController.SkinName Property

Specifies the name of the active skin in an application.

Declaration

property SkinName: TdxSkinName read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxSkinName	The name of the active skin. The specified skin is in effect when the NativeStyle property is set to False. Refer to the Remarks section for detailed information on available options.

Remarks

Use the SkinName property to apply a built-in or custom skin to all controls if the NativeStyle property is set to False. The LookAndFeel.SkinName property of an individual control has priority over the SkinName property.

To apply a built-in skin to an application, assign the corresponding skin name to the SkinName property.

Custom Skin

To use a custom skin, do the following:

• Launch the Skin Editor to create a new skin.
• Call the dxSkinsUserSkinLoadFromFile, dxSkinsUserSkinLoadFromFileByIndex, dxSkinsUserSkinLoadFromFile, or dxSkinsUserSkinLoadFromStreamByIndex global function to load a skin from a SKINRES file or stream.
• Assign the 'UserSkin' string to the SkinName property at runtime.

Limitations

You can load and apply custom skins only at runtime. At design time, you can apply only built-in skins.

Default Value

The SkinName property’s default value is the cxDefaultLookAndFeelSkinName global constant.
