Hello Infragistics support,

So I hooked up the Ultramessagbox and found that the buttons are the standard xp buttons. I wanted to apply the Office 2007 theme.

I'm largely wanting to avoid the question of the stylist application and so tried the following:

UltraMessageBoxInfo info = new UltraMessageBoxInfo();

info.ButtonAppearance.BackColor = Office2007ColorTable.Colors.ButtonBackColor;

etc.........

Unfortunately this didn't work.

I'm using the stylist for a single element (<style role="ListViewColumnHeader">) so I thought I would be able to easily edit it to incorporate this. Unfortunately my efforts were unsuccesful I imported the 2 available resources for normal and hot- tracking from the supplied isl files but the buttons would not update. I have attached the file and would appreciate any pointers there.

I just want to set the Office 2007 theme on the messagebox buttons, can you tell me what I need to do to get the messagebox to open with the equivalent of a ViewStyle = Office2007?

As a aside, I would encourage you to seriously consider providing straight forward themes that can be assigned using properties. I have found this appstyle thing to be largely unsatisfactory and a serious  time sink.

DevExpress provides skins for their controls, I pick the one I want and I'm done. All color variations are covered. That way I can get on with the work at hand. With your stuff, there seems to be no way to theme a basic button so it is consistent for active/hover and pressed etc. I have to go to stylist and work out border colours for when a button is in hover or pressed state. I thought you guys had that all figured out? Just let me know which switch I need to flick.

I'd just like to get stuff done not fiddle with colour schemes.

Thanks

Here's my isl file
