Skinning controls in LayoutControl

created 9 years ago

Hi,

I dropped a Skin Controller to my form to control the Skin in General.
Almost all controls reacts on it, except a cxButton which is contained within a layout control. I tried to check/uncheck the native style flag but nothing works at all - the interesting things is, that the other components contained at that layout contriol (such as edit controls) are reacting to the Skin Controller, so it does not seem that controls within a layout Controller do not react to Skin Controllers .
How can I make the button working just as the others do?

Regards Thomas

Hello,

When you put a button into our LayoutControl, the LayoutControl regulates the button work. So, to skin the button in this case, you need to create TdxLayoutCxLookAndFeel or TdxLayoutSkinLookAndFeel objects in TdxLayoutLookAndFeelList (you can do this via the LyoutControl's or LayoutItem's LayoutLookAndFeel property at design time).
In case TdxLayoutSkinLookAndFeel is used, LayoutControl or an Item will use TdxSkinController's settings. In other cases, it will be necessary to adjust the TdxLayoutCxLookAndFeel object as you wish.
