Button not applying theme at runtime

[Michael]

I have 2 radbuttons on my form and i created a custom theme for them. During design time i applied the theme to the buttons and all is well. However when i view the form in runtime it defaults back to the Radforms theme which is "Office2007Black". I dont understand why this is happening. I even tried to set the theme in code

RadButtonPar_Start.ThemeName =

"Startbutton"

 

 

RadButtonPar_Stop.ThemeName = "Stopbutton"

Thanks in advance!

Hello michael evans,

I suppose that you are using the xml theme file as a resource. Please note that you should set its Build Action to Embedded Resource. Otherwise, the theme will be applied at design-time, but not runtime.
For additional information about using external themes, please refer to the following Knowledge Base:
Adding custom redistributable themes to your applications. 

I am attaching a sample project which demonstrates the correct behavior. Could you confirm that the behavior on your side is correct as well?
