Remarks

Certain DevExpress controls allow you to use HTML-CSS templates to render their UI. These controls typically have the HtmlTemplate properties to specify templates. At design time, you can create a template in the control’s Designer:

Run Demo: HTML Main Demo — Lab

To specify an HTML-CSS template for a control at runtime, set the following properties:

• control.HtmlTemplate.Template — Gets or sets the template’s HTML markup used to build a control’s UI.
• control.HtmlTemplate.Styles — Gets or sets the template’s CSS code that specifies the appearance settings, size, padding, and layout options of UI elements.

• HTML and CSS-based Desktop UI
• HTML Tags
• CSS Styles

Example

The example below specifies a sample HTML-CSS template for an HtmlContentControl. This template renders the following UI:

C#

string html =
@"<div class='container background-color1'>
    <h3>background-color: LightPink;</h3>
</div>
<div class='container background-color2'>
    <h3>background-color: rgb(207, 236, 207);</h3>
</div>
<div class='container background-color3'>
    <h3>background-color: rgba(253, 202, 162, 0.7);</h3>
</div>
<div class='container background-color4'>
    <h3>background-color: @Question;</h3>
</div>
<div class='container background-color5'>
    <h3>background-color: @Blue/0.2;</h3>
</div>";

string css =
@".container {
    padding: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    background-color: @Window;
}
.background-color1 {
    background-color: LightPink;
}
.background-color2 {
    background-color: rgb(207, 236, 207);
}
.background-color3 {
    background-color: rgba(253, 202, 162, 0.7);
}
.background-color4 {
    background-color: @Question;
}
.background-color5 {
    background-color: @Blue/0.2;
}";
htmlContentControl1.HtmlTemplate.Template = html;
htmlContentControl1.HtmlTemplate.Styles = css;
