wpf theme problem

created 13 years ago

I have set theme in WPF
Window like so:

dx:ThemeManager.ThemeName="LightGray"

It works perfect at design
time but at run time the GridControl has default DevExpress theme.

Yesterday I have fixed this
problem by changing .NET version from default 4.5 to 4.0 but today the problem appeared
back again.

The same problem is in Visual Studio 2010.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your inquiry. I am afraid I cannot reproduce the issue you described. Please review the attached screeencast. Would you please clarify how to reproduce this shortcoming?
    I am looking forward to your response.
    Thanks

      I have just found that the problem is only when I run application from Visual Studio but when I run it alone everything is ok. In this way it is not that bad I can live with that.

        Thank you for your response.
        The behavior you described is really strange and we still cannot reproduce it locally. To help us better understand the situation, would you please provide us with a screencast illustrating exactly what is happening on your side? For instance, you can capture it using the free Jing tool from TechSmith.
        In addition, please specify the exact Visual Studio version you are using: please click the "Copy Info" button in the "About Microsoft Visual Studio" dialog, and post the resulting information here.
        I have also noticed that you are working with an outdated version of our products (according to the Build field of this report you are using v11.2.12). I suggest that you upgrade to v11.2.13, which we recently published, and check if this makes a difference at your end.

        Now the
        problem is even more strange. At design time in VS 2012 I have an error like
        the one below. I have made screenshots about my visual studio versions and
        views from design time and runtime. Also I'm uploading current project. The
        bellow error disappears when I remove dx:ThemeManager.ThemeName="LightGray"
        from MainWindow.
        Everything behaves
        exactly the same on other computers in my company.
        InvalidOperationException: Cannot set OverridesDefaultStyle property in the default Style.

            Hi,
            Thank you for your inquiry. I have researched your sample and found a strange thing in the references' definition. I think it may be the cause of the problem. I have re-added all references to our libraries and the project works correctly at design time. I have attached a video to demonstrate this. Please try this approach and let me know of your results.

              Hello,
              Today I was having same behavior with 13.2.8 version. Removing the line of code "dx:ThemeManager.ThemeName="LightGray"" causes a cyclical exception with TextEdit control, related to theme process. Really annonaying this issue.
              I have a question here: If you remove this line of code, why is not placed again when a new theme is selected ???. Seems that app.config is affected too. Removing the lines in the .config file related to DevExpress theme management, causes exceptions too.
              See attached image.
              Thank you.
