Styling windows forms.
posted

We have an application with the new Office 2007 style, specially with a menu created with the ribbon component. We can see that we can define the colors that we want in the caption area of the ribbon (the blue bar for normal windows). But we are questioning about how to change the way the other forms (the childs forms of the mdi) are shown. How can we change the bar color? How can we change the way the buttons (minimize, maximize, ...) are shown (we want them as in the ribbon)?

We do know that we have to include the inboxstylist in our forms, but we can't find anyway of defining an style for a Form.

In order to clarify what I am talking about, I send you a capture of Excel 2007 where you can see the same style in the forms than in the mdi.

 Thank you very much

    If you want to change the style of the MDI child forms so that they have the rounded corners and min/max buttons like Office2007, then you need to use an UltraToolbarsManager on those form. This is not an AppStylist function, it's a function of the UltraToolbarsManager.

    Just put an UltraToolbarsManager on the child for and set the FormDisplayStyle.
