Hello Miki,

Thank you for writing.

There are two ways to customize the appearance of our controls: by using a theme or by setting the desired properties programatically.

To achieve this appearance of the check box when checked, here is how to access the check mark primitive and set its properties:

radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.DrawFill = true;
radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(27, 161, 226);
radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.BackColor2 = Color.FromArgb(27, 161, 226);
radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(27, 161, 226);

The same result can be obtained with a theme. You can create your own theme, or you can use one of the predefined themes and change the appearance of the desired controls/elements. Then you can apply this theme to your application. More information about the theming mechanism is available on the following links:

- Visual Style Builder
- Working with Repository Items
- Loading predefined themes
- Saving and Loading Theme Files
- Loading Themes from an External File
- Loading Themes from a Resource
- Applying theme to a control

I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Please take a look at the attach screenshot, i want to change the regular style (not mouse over but just the controller style without any user click), currently the regular style is with black border and White color inside the button.
How can i change this regular style like the second Checkbox in my screenshot ?
I try to play with radCheckBoxLoop.ButtonElement.BorderElement properties but this default style haven't changed.

Hi,

Here is how to access the fill and border elements of the check mark:

radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Border.ForeColor= Color.Green;

I hope that you find this information useful.
