I need a Office 2007 look n feel too for the wingrid.Did you find any solution for you query  yet ???

Thanks

AppStylist only affects the look of the controls, it will never change functionality. If you want RowSelectors on the grid, you have to turn this on in your application. The same holds true for Row Filtering. 

Row selectors are controlled by the RowSelectors property.

Row Filter is turned on with AllowRowFiltering and/or RowFilterUIType.  

Hi Mike,

Thanks. I just thought setting the canvas options for the grids in the AppStylist, would be reflected in the application when using the AppStyling. What I am looking for is a way to provide a general layout for all my grids, whatever datasource I'm using. Do you have any Best Practices on this matter? Do I have to Extend the UltraGrid control in order to add, the requested default behavior and look?

Best Regards

Hi Dennis,

    The AppStylist Canvases are just there to allow you to see a preview of what the controls might look like. Nothing in the Options of a canvas will affect your application.

    It sounds like what you are looking for is a Preset. The WinGrid supports the loading of Preset files which can affect both the look and behavior of the grid. You can create and manage presets in the grid designer.  

Hi Mike,

Ok, thanks, I think I will create a preset instead.

Is it possible to load a preset into a grid dynamically, so that changes made to the after the grid was first created, also will be reflected in the grids later on?

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

    Well, you can save and load a preset to a file. I think the grid even has methods for this like SavePreset/LoadPreset. If I am wrong about that, then you would do it using the PresetSerializer class, instead.
