UltraExplorerBar Border in Style Library
posted

I am creating a Windows Form app in .NET 2.0 running on Windows XP using NetAdvantage 8.3. I have created a new blank style library using the AppStylist, and I have turned themes off. I have added an UltraExplorerBar to the form, and set its style to OutlookNavigationPane. I have selected each role in the AppStylist for UltraExplorerBar and set the Border color to Red. However, when I run the application, the inner borders of the groups and items are red, but the outer border of the UltraExplorerBar is still controlled by the system theme. Is there any way to control the outer border color using a style library? Note that if I set UseAppStyling to false on the UltraExplorerBar, then I can change the Appearance of the bar to give it the border color I want.

    Hi John,

    I tested this out in AppStylist and I set the Border color on the Base UIRole and there seem to be quite a number of areas in the OutlookNavigtionPane that aren't picking it up.

    I briefly consider that maybe these areas are no borders, but are instead the BackColor. But setting the BackColor on the Base Role didn't work, either.

    I could find no way to adjust these borders with AppStylist, so this looks like a bug to me. I'm going to forward this thread over to Infragistics Developer Support so they can have this looked at.
