Remarks

Tip

This class is outdated. Use the ThemedWindow class to display a window that supports DevExpress themes.

DXWindow is a Window class descendant. It supports the Window class and DX theme features to ensure the same look and feel as other DevExpress controls.

The following image shows a DXWindow that contains DevExpress controls. The window and controls use the Office2007Blue theme.

Make the following changes to replace the standard Window class in your application with the DXWindow:

• In your code file (.cs)

  C#

  public partial class MainWindow : Window {
  //...
  

  to:

  C#

  using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;
  public partial class MainWindow : DXWindow {
  //...
  

• In an XAML file

  XAML

  <Window x:Class="Example.MainWindow"
  

  to:

  XAML

  <dxc:DXWindow x:Class="Example.MainWindow"
   ...
  xmlns:dxc="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core"
