User conditional Formating and Theme

[Filleau]

Hi

How to apply the défault application theme to the "Conditional Formating" windows who is displayed for end users ?

(In my application, I use the Dersert Theme, so when this windows is showed, the blue color is not welcome.)

Thanks

Anthony

Helo Anthony,

This will happen automatically if you set the application theme name for the entire application.

ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Desert"

(See screenshot)

Hope that helps

Hello guys,

Or if you are using different themes in your application and just want to show the ConditionalFormattingForm with a different theme, you can just do the following:

var conditionalFormattingForm = new ConditionalFormattingForm(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, null);
conditionalFormattingForm.ThemeName = "Desert";
conditionalFormattingForm.Owner = this.FindForm();
conditionalFormattingForm.Show();

 
And to use this from the grids's ContextMenu, you can just use the following:

//register for the context menu opening event
radGridView1.ContextMenuOpening += new ContextMenuOpeningEventHandler(radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening);

void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
    var conditionalFormattingItem =
        e.ContextMenu.Items.Where(i => i.Text.Contains("Conditional")).FirstOrDefault();
    if (conditionalFormattingItem == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var index = e.ContextMenu.Items.IndexOf(conditionalFormattingItem);
    e.ContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(index);
    conditionalFormattingItem = new RadMenuItem(conditionalFormattingItem.Text);
    e.ContextMenu.Items.Insert(index, conditionalFormattingItem);

    conditionalFormattingItem.Click += this.conditionalFormattingItem_Click;
}

void conditionalFormattingItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var conditionalFormattingForm = new ConditionalFormattingForm(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, null);
    conditionalFormattingForm.ThemeName = "Desert";
    conditionalFormattingForm.Owner = this.FindForm();
    conditionalFormattingForm.Show();
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Hi again, me again...

What's about system dialog box ?

I need to open an savedialogbox. If I wan't a to apply a theme on it I need to rewrite it ?

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

the Windows Save Dialog box is still a windows form control and therefore you would have to look at implementing your own as this cannot be styled as far as Im aware.

But I can imagine that it must be already exist a code to do that.... somewhere.
