Hello
I created a form user the Rad WinForms toolbox in visual studio and now i like to apply the aqua theme to the entire application without assigning the aqua theme to each form.
I notice that i need to add this code at the begining of my code
ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "aqua"
so when i did add this line of code it does not work. In fact, this parcel of the code ThemeResolutionService will have a a curly black line under it. More over, i have dragged and dropped the aqua theme from the toolbox on to my application!!!
I am using vb.net
what should i do to apply the theme to the entire application???
thanks

Hi Mike Elnar,
Thank you for contacting us.
In general your approach is fine. The theme names, however, are case sensitive. So, you should use this code to set the name:
As to the underlined ThemeResolutionService class, please note that it is contained in the Telerik.WinControls namespace, so you need to import this namespace at the beginning of your code file:
I hope that this information is helpful. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us.

Hello Mike,
There is actually a video about changing themes at runtime that shows how to give users the option of selecting a theme.
A blog entry is also available:
I hope this information helps.

Hi Mike Elnar,
The integration with Visual Studio's menu is a built-in feature in the latest version of RadControls for Winforms. You should simply install it to have the Telerik item in the menu.
