SkinManager.EnableMdiFormSkins() Method

Enables the title bar skinning feature for MDI child DevExpress forms.

Namespace: DevExpress.Skins

Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Utils, DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public static void EnableMdiFormSkins()

VB.NET

Public Shared Sub EnableMdiFormSkins

Remarks

To enable the title bar skinning feature for MDI child DevExpress forms, call the SkinManager.EnableFormSkins and then the EnableMdiFormSkins method at the application start.

It’s possible to call the SkinManager.EnableFormSkins and EnableMdiFormSkins methods later. In this instance, the DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelHelper.ForceDefaultLookAndFeelChanged method needs to be called after enabling skins.

DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableFormSkins();
DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableMdiFormSkins();
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelHelper.ForceDefaultLookAndFeelChanged();

VB.NET

DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableFormSkins()
DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableMdiFormSkins()
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelHelper.ForceDefaultLookAndFeelChanged()
