cxDefaultLookAndFeelRenderMode Constant

Specifies the default render mode for DevExpress controls at the application level.

#Declaration

Delphi
const cxDefaultLookAndFeelRenderMode = rmGDI;

#Remarks

The cxDefaultLookAndFeelRenderMode global constant defines the active render mode at the application level if a TdxSkinController component’s RenderMode property is set to rmDefault.

#Limitations

Only the following controls support more than one render mode:

VCL Chart Control
Allows you to visualize data as bar, area, line, pie, and doughnut series with multiple chart appearance customization options.
VCL Tile Controls
TdxTileControl and TdxTileBar controls allow you to create touch-friendly user interfaces inspired by Microsoft Windows® 8.
VCL Gallery Control

A gallery control is designed to display a set of items categorized into groups and arranged into rows and columns. Gallery controls include:

TdxGalleryControl
A gallery control.
TdxColorGallery
An unbound color gallery control.
TdxDBColorGallery
A data-aware color gallery control.
VCL List View Control
A list view control allows users to arrange items in groups and columns horizontally or vertically. Each item can show its caption, subitems, images, check box, and hint.
VCL Gantt Control
A project management tool that allows users to schedule activities related to project goals.

All other DevExpress controls always use the GDI render mode (rmGDI) and ignore render mode settings.
