RadControls for WinForms
Contents

Adding a custom theme as a file:

  1. Create a new Windows Application and drag a RadControl, i.e. RadButton, from your Toolbox to your form.
  2. Create a new custom theme and save it somewhere on your hard drive.
  3. Right-click the project node in the Solution Explorer, choose Add >> Existing Item and add the custom theme file. This will automatically copy the custom theme file in your project's directory.
  4. Add a RadThemeManager to the form.
  5. From its Action Menu (click the Smart Tag to open it) choose Load Theme from file, then browse to the theme file in the project directory and select it, click Open.
  6. Again from the RadThemeManager's Action Menu, choose Edit Themes, set the ThemeLocation property according to the following pattern: "~..\..\ThemeFileName.Extention", assuming that the theme file is in the project directory.
  7. Now apply the theme to the RadButton.
