XtraForm.LookAndFeel Property

Contains settings that specify the look and feel of the current form and all DevExpress controls placed on the form.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public FormUserLookAndFeel LookAndFeel { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property LookAndFeel As FormUserLookAndFeel

Property Value

Type	Description
FormUserLookAndFeel	A FormUserLookAndFeel object that stores look&feel settings for this XtraForm.

Remarks

Starting from version 18.1, the XtraBars controls/components placed onto an XtraForm take into account the LookAndFeel object’s settings, provided that the form does not contain a BarAndDockingController instance. You can prohibit this behavior via the WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultSettingsCompatibilityMode static setting. See Version Compatibility: Default Property Values to learn more.
