NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Design, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

public DefaultBoolean UseSkinPaddings { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property UseSkinPaddings As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Description
DefaultBoolean	Specifies whether to retrieve message box paddings from skins. The Default value means the behavior is inherited from the global XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings property.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

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

To disable skin 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)
