Remarks

The ExportSvgImage method does not save the items’ tags (SvgImageItem.Tag) to the output.

To save item apperance settings (SvgImageBox.ItemAppearance and SvgImageItem.Appearance), use the StoreAppearance property. This property is a combination of bit flags that specify whether to save the appearance settings applied to items in the normal, selected, hovered, and disabled states.

The ExportSvgImage method called without the optional exportOptions parameter takes into account the control’s SvgImageBox.OptionsExport.StoreAppearance setting.

C#

svgImageBox1.OptionsExport.StoreAppearance = DevExpress.XtraEditors.AppearanceTypes.All;
svgImageBox1.ExportSvgImage("svgimagebox.svg");

VB.NET

SvgImageBox1.OptionsExport.StoreAppearance = DevExpress.XtraEditors.AppearanceTypes.All
SvgImageBox1.ExportSvgImage("svgimagebox.svg")

You can also set the StoreAppearance setting using the ExportSvgImage method’s exportOptions parameter. In this case, the method ignores the control’s SvgImageBox.OptionsExport.StoreAppearance property.

C#

SvgImageBoxOptionsExport expOptions = new SvgImageBoxOptionsExport();
expOptions.StoreAppearance = AppearanceTypes.Normal | AppearanceTypes.Disabled;
svgImageBox1.ExportSvgImage("svgimagebox.svg", expOptions);

VB.NET

Dim expOptions As SvgImageBoxOptionsExport = New SvgImageBoxOptionsExport()
expOptions.StoreAppearance = AppearanceTypes.Normal Or AppearanceTypes.Disabled
SvgImageBox1.ExportSvgImage("svgimagebox.svg", expOptions)
