How to apply a skin to a NavBar at runtime

created 7 years ago

Hello,

I need to change the skin of the navbar for code. I'm trying this

TdxNavBarSkinExplorerBarPainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinName := 'DevExpressDarkStyle';
TdxNavBarSkinExplorerBarPainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinNameAssigned := True;

but it doesn't work.

Best regards.

Hello,

The following code should apply the DevExpressDarkStyle skin to a NavBar with the SkinExplorerBarView view style:

Delphi
uses dxSkinsdxNavBarPainter;  

TdxNavBarSkinExplorerBarPainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinName := 'DevExpressDarkStyle';

If it does not work, I recommend you check whether the NavBar.ViewStyle property has the "SkinExplorerBarView" value. In case this does not help, please provide us with a small test project with an executable file (EXE) that demonstrates your situation.

      Hello,

      I need to use NavBar.ViewStyl:=SkinNavigationPaneView . In design mode it works but not in runtime mode.

        Hello,

        Thank you for the sample. I've examined it and see that your code is incorrect. You are using the SkinNavigationPaneView view style. However, in the project you cast the dxNavBar.ViewStyle property to the Painter's class of the SkinExplorerBarView style. It is incorrect.
        I recommend you set a breakpoint in your code and check the class name of the dxNavBar.ViewStyle property at that moment:

        Delphi
        dxNavBar.ViewStyle.ClassName

        As a result you will get the correct class name that should be used for casting:

        Delphi
        TdxNavBarSkinNavPanePainter(dxNavBar1.ViewStyle).SkinName := ...;
