Hi All,
I want to know is there any way to apply Infragistics styles to Windows Forms Caption and borders?
I am already using styles to windows normal controls but unable to find a way to apply it on windows forms caption and border, so that my application has a different look.
Thanks,
Ovais
Hello Ovais, Yes you are right, the Ribbon can change the appearance of the form caption area. And this is the only way to do that. Also you can control the style of the ribbon, but there are standards for ribbon too. Since this is Ms tool and we have extension for styling it you can style the Ribbon Forms. But you can’t style any standalone form since the form doesn’t extend this functionality. I hope this make the things clear.Sincerely,DimiDeveloper Support EngineerInfragistics, Inc.
Thanks Dimi. OS themes are different, they affects all the programs running on the machine. I only need to control my developed application's form's caption. One way is to use UltraToolbarsManager and select Ribbon Style, and then apply our desired AppStyle to it. But i dont wanna use it. I also used ComponentOne, they are providing their own Ribbon Forms (MDI as well as child). Does Infragistics provide the same? Remember again, I just want to change my Form's Caption Appearance through Net Advantage AppStylist.
Thanks
Hello Ovais, The windows properties like caption, border and event the caption font are controlled by the OS theme. And if you specify some specific theme to you machine you will see that all your application will look the same. The regular windows form doesn’t expose any properties to control the look of the form outside his content.I hope this make the things clear.Sincerely,DimiDeveloper Support EngineerInfragistics, Inc.
