cxDefaultLookAndFeelNativeStyle Constant

Specifies the initial native style usage flag for DevExpress controls.

Declaration

const cxDefaultLookAndFeelNativeStyle = False;

Remarks

The native style uses operating system-dependent draw routines to display control content and UI elements. Skins and palettes have no effect on all DevExpress controls that use the native style.

Note

The TdxRibbon control never uses the native style. If the application does not use DevExpress skins through the TdxSkinController component, the TdxRibbon control uses one of its built-in skins.

The cxDefaultLookAndFeelNativeStyle global constant value is True or False if the following option is checked or unchecked in the DevExpress component installer:

VCL Shared Libraries: The Global Native Style Usage Installer Option
