Remarks

When you wish to create a different visual appearance for the Chart Wizard, you may involve the Look And Feel and Skinning. It enables you to select visual styles and skins.

The following code snippet shows how to use this approach.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard;
using DevExpress.LookAndFeel;
// ...

ChartWizard wiz = new ChartWizard(chartControl1);

// Create a new look and feel object.
UserLookAndFeel MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard = new UserLookAndFeel(wiz);

// Change styles, skins or whatever.
MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard.SetWindowsXPStyle();

// Invoke the styled Wizard.
wiz.ShowDialog(MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard
Imports DevExpress.LookAndFeel
' ...

Dim wiz As ChartWizard = New ChartWizard(chartControl1)

' Create a new look and feel object.
Dim MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard As UserLookAndFeel = New UserLookAndFeel(wiz)

' Change styles, skins or whatever.
MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard.SetWindowsXPStyle

' Invoke the styled Wizard
wiz.ShowDialog(MyLookAndFeel_for_Wizard)
