TdxNavBar Property SkinName Does Not Exist

created 9 years ago

Hello,

At runtime I get the following error message on a form with a dxNavBar component where the ViewStyle.SkinName property is set in the form designer:

"Error reading dxNavBar.ViewStyle.SkinName: Property SkinName does not exist".

I found a couple of other tickets with a reference to this same issue, so I tried adding "dxSkinsdxNavBarPainter" to the "uses" clause, but that did not help.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

    Also, I looked in the help system and found this line of example code…

    TdxNavBarSkinNavPanePainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinName := 'Caramel';

    I added that line to a test button click event, removed the SkinName property in the form designer, and ran the form.  When I click the test button to set the skin, I get an access violation.

    Hello Mike,

    It is unclear what NavBar Style View you are using. To apply a skin to a NavBar, you need to choose a corresponding style, such as LookAndFeelView, AccordionView, SkinExplorerBarView, or SkinNavigationPaneView. I recommend that you read about this in our help documentation (see the "TdxCustomNavBar.ViewStyle" and "TdxCustomNavBar.View" help topics).

    E.g., if you are using the SkinNavigationPaneView style, you can set the Skin using the following code:

    Delphi
    if dxNavBar1.ViewStyle is TdxNavBarSkinNavPanePainter then  
  TdxNavBarSkinNavPanePainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinName := 'Valentine';
