We have a stylelist (*.isl) where we set the Base > Normal > Background to white. We want the user to be able to overwrite the background colour of the UltraExplorerBar and UltraTree. For the UltraTree, we set the Resolution Order to ControlThenApplication and then in code we have:
ultraTree.Appearance.BackColor = UserPrefs.BackColour
We do the same thing for the UltraExplorerBar, but it doesn't work. The background colour does not get overridden at all. I've tried using ResolveAppearance and it doesn't change anything. The UltraExplorerBar Control Style is set as OutlookNavigationPane and ViewStyle is set to Office2007. No combination of these settings produce the desired results. It only works when setting UseAppStyling to false, but we need that for other settings, and only really want to give the user control to change the background.
Is this a known problem or is there a setting somewhere we are missing?
Hello ,
I think that the appearance which you need to set is this.ultraExplorerBar1.GroupSettings.AppearancesSmall.Appearance.BackColor. However maybe there is some resource in the isl file that covers your back color. So could you please provide me a small sample with isl that demonstrate your issue and also please let me know the back color of which exactly area you want to change and I will investigate for the root of this issue.
I am waiting for your feedback.
Hi
Attached is a small VB.NET project. I've set all the GroupSettings.AppearancesSmall.* to all different colours and you can see them set in designer mode. When you run the project and the isl file is applied, all colours change to white.
Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for the provided sample. I have reviewed your code and the isl and what I could suggest you to do with the version of Infragistics which you are using is:
- You could set resolution order from appstylist to ControlOnly
- You could add StyleSet for UltraExplorerBar, and to manage needed appearance of UltraExplorerBar without changing Base appearance. I have modified your sample in order to demonstrate you this approach. Please see attached zip, there will find the sample and small video of how you could manage StyleSet
I hope that this will helps you.
