Hello everybody,Some time ago I created a style .isl file with AppStylist tool for my WinForms app.Now that I switched to WPF, I am curious to know if there is a way to convert that file in custom theme for WPF (so I can reuse all customizations, colors, gradients, etc.)BTW, does Infragistics provide a user-friendly tool like AppStylist for WPF too? Alternatively, what do you suggest to create a new theme if I cannot convert the .isl file? Do I need to customize a xaml file for every control?Thanks in advance
Valentina
Hello Valentina,
Thank you for your post.
Unfortunately, there does not exists a tool like AppStylist for WPF. A product idea for this was submitted some time ago, but it was declined, and so it does not appear that there are plans to implement this. You can see this product idea here: http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/192363-wpf/suggestions/7120716-appstylist-for-wpf-controls. There also does not currently exist a conversion tool or method for .isl files between WPF and Windows Forms, as many of the Windows Forms controls are not directly convertible to WPF.
Depending on the customizations that you are looking to make to the WPF controls, it may be necessary to modify a XAML file for the controls. On the other hand, it could be as simple as overriding a particular resource brush. It really depends on which control(s) that you are looking to modify and create a theme for. We do expose the themes and default styles for each of the WPF controls, and they can be found at the following directories:
Themes: C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\<your version here>\WPF\Themes
Default Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\<your version here>\WPF\DefaultStyles
If you need assistance or guidance in styling the Infragistics WPF controls, please let me know which controls that you are looking to style, and the aspects of the controls that you would like to change.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
Sincerely,AndrewAssociate Developer
