Apply theme to just the current Dialog

[Denis Cilliers]

how can I change the theme for just the current form at runtime and not the whole application 

This is for a dialog form that opens in front of the main form that has a different theme

ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = ThemeName

 This changes the theme for the whole application not just the open dialog and the following seems to not work at all 

Private Sub ApplyTheme()

       Dim mytheme As New Telerik.WinControls.Themes.Office2010BlackTheme

       Me.ThemeClassName = "Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm"
       Me.ThemeName = mytheme.ThemeName

   End Sub

Hi Denis,

Thank you for writing.

The theme that is set through ApplicationThemeName property of ThemeResolutionService is with higher priority than the locally set themes to controls. However, you can use the ApplyThemeToControlTree method of the ThemeResolutionService and apply the theme to the form. In this case the locally set themes will not be ignored. However, you should apply the main theme to all forms in your application.

Attached is the demo project that demonstrates how to use the ApplyThemeToControlTree method.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Hi Thanks Anton

I cant seem to get this implemented, will try it again, my forms are just stubborn I suppose

Also the code you supplied does not include the Office2010BlackTheme  Theme as you have targeted the newer build

Thus I cannot use your code as it currently stand

Hello Denis,

Thank you for writing back.

I created a new demo to demonstrate more clearly how to use the ApplyThemeToControlTree method to change the theme of the form at run time.

I hope this demo helps.

All the best,
