Declaration
public class UserLookAndFeel :
IDisposable,
ISkinProvider,
ISkinProviderEx,
ISkinProviderEx2,
IAppearanceDefaultFontProviderRemarks
DevExpress controls are rendered using global look-and-feel settings, which are exposed by the Default LookAndFeel object. Global look-and-feel settings allow you to apply the same paint scheme to all forms in your WinForms application.
Use a control’s LookAndFeel property to override default look-and-feel settings:
- Set the control’s
LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeelproperty tofalseto ignore default (global) settings. - Customize the control’s
LookAndFeelsettings as needed.
The following code snippet applies the “Office 2019 Black” skin to the ‘Cancel’ button:
using DevExpress.LookAndFeel;
namespace DXApplication {
public partial class Form1 : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
/* Specify the default skin (the 'Basic' skin).
The default skin is applied to all UI controls displayed on the Form.*/
UserLookAndFeel.Default.SetSkinStyle(SkinStyle.Basic);
// Disable the default look-and-feel settings for the 'Cancel' button.
buttonCancel.LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false;
// Specify the 'Office 2019 Black' skin for the 'Cancel' button.
buttonCancel.LookAndFeel.SkinName = SkinStyle.Office2019Black;
}
}
}
