Namespace: DevExpress.LookAndFeel
Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v24.2.dll
Declaration
[DefaultValue(true)]
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
public virtual bool UseDefaultLookAndFeel { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boolean | true | true to use look and feel settings provided by the parent object or default look and feel object; false to enable this object’s settings. |
Remarks
If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property is set to true and the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property specifies a non-null value, look and feel settings are specified by the object assigned to the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property.
If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property value is true and the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property value is null (Nothing in Visual Basic), look and feel settings are controlled by an object specified by the UserLookAndFeel.Default property. Drop the the DefaultLookAndFeel component onto a form to customize the default look and feel settings.
The following example specifies “The Bezier” skin as a default skin:
If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property value is set to false, the UserLookAndFeel.SkinName property specifies the appearance and look and feel of UI controls. You can disable this setting for individual controls to specify a unique skin (if you apply a vector skin, it will use its default color palette), but this approach is not recommended.
