TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel Class

The base class for layout look & feel components.

Declaration

TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel = class(
    TcxScalableComponent
)

Remarks

A Layout control can have individual look & feel settings or automatically synchronize (recommended) with the skin and palette defined using a TdxSkinController component or the Project Settings dialog.

A layout look & feel component allows you to specify individual appearance settings for different Layout controls and their groups/items. In addition to general look & feel settings that correspond to global skin and native style options, TdxLayoutSkinLookAndFeel also has appearance settings specific to layout groups and items (offsets, paddings, caption fonts, etc.).

Main API Members

The list below outlines key members of the TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel class. These members allow you to configure look & feel settings at the level of individual Layout controls, groups, and items.

Appearance Settings

GroupOptions | ItemOptions: Provide access to layout group and item-specific settings.
LookAndFeel: Provides access to look & feel settings (skin name and native style, for example) defined in the layout look & feel component.

Note
If you use the LookAndFeel.SkinName property to select a vector skin at the level of a Layout control, group, or item, the selected skin uses the color palette defined at the global level (TdxSkinController.SkinPaletteName).
Offsets: Specifies offsets for layout groups and items.
