Public Shared Property UseSkinPaddings As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	Specifies whether all XtraMessageBoxes should retrieve element paddings from skins.

Remarks

DevExpress skins store element paddings that increase the empty area around message box content blocks.

To disable paddings or modify padding values, do one of the following.

• Disable the static XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings property (affects all message boxes in your app).

C#

XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings = false;

VB.NET

XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings = False

• Disable the XtraMessageBoxArgs.UseSkinPaddings property (affects message boxes that use this XtraMessageBoxArgs object).

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.UseSkinPaddings = false;
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);

VB.NET

Dim args As New XtraMessageBoxArgs()
args.UseSkinPaddings = False
XtraMessageBox.Show(args)

• Change ...Padding properties of the XtraMessageBoxArgs object to set up custom padding sizes for individual content blocks.

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.ButtonPadding = new Padding(30);
args.ContentPadding = new Padding(100);
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxPadding = new Padding(30);
args.TextPadding = new Padding(30);
args.IconPadding = new Padding(30);

args.Icon = new Icon(@"D:\demoicon.ico");
args.Caption = "XtraMessageBox";
args.Text = "Do you really want to close the app?";
args.Buttons = new DialogResult[] { DialogResult.Yes, DialogResult.No };
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxVisible = true;

XtraMessageBox.Show(args);

VB.NET

Dim args As New XtraMessageBoxArgs()
args.ButtonPadding = New Padding(30)
args.ContentPadding = New Padding(100)
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxPadding = New Padding(30)
args.TextPadding = New Padding(30)
args.IconPadding = New Padding(30)

args.Icon = New Icon("D:\demoicon.ico")
args.Caption = "XtraMessageBox"
args.Text = "Do you really want to close the app?"
args.Buttons = New DialogResult() { DialogResult.Yes, DialogResult.No }
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxVisible = True

XtraMessageBox.Show(args)

• Create a custom skin in WinForms Skin Editor and modify values of “Message Box Paddings” group properties.
