How to remove skin on custom controls

created 15 years ago

Hi,
I have a NavBarControl with several NavBarGroups with GroupStyle = ControlContainer. All NavBarGroups contain user controls that don't derive from DevExpress Controls. These controls basically contain a TableLayoutPanel containing some standard controls like Labels etc.
Our customer likes the skinning support, but they want these custom controls to not use the skin and stay with their white back color. How can i prevent that these controls change their back color? I tried to derive from XtraUserControl and set LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false, but it didn't help.
Regards

    Hi Andre,
    Our Skinning Engine does not skin custom controls which are not derived from our classes. If the opposite happens in your application, could you please provide a sample project showing the glitch? We will do our best to help you. BTW, it is possible that a label uses a parent BackColor and ForeColor. If you need to prevent the control from doing this, you should set the corresponding properties directly.
    Thanks,
    Plato
