Is there a quick method to copy default button style to a LightVisualElement?

Hi

I'm writing a subclass of a radtileelement and one of it's child LightVisualElements needs to emulate a button.

I've written the following code which emulates a regular/plain windows button but I wondered if there was a quick method to copy the style from the border primitive belonging to a button on the form to my LightVisualElement so that my element will maintain the appearance of a button border without needing to do it all manually. (Ive not touched theming yet as Ive only been doing this a few days so far and want to start feeling comfortable understanding the controls first.)

 

01._buttonElement = new LightVisualElement();
02._buttonElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
03._buttonElement.AutoEllipsis = true;
04._buttonElement.MinSize = new Size(0, 30);
05.
06._buttonElement.DrawFill = true;
07._buttonElement.BackColor = SystemColors.ButtonFace;
08.
09._buttonElement.DrawBorder = true;
10._buttonElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.FourBorders;
11._buttonElement.BorderBottomColor = SystemColors.ButtonShadow;
12._buttonElement.BorderRightColor = SystemColors.ButtonShadow;
13._buttonElement.BorderTopColor = SystemColors.ButtonHighlight;
14._buttonElement.BorderLeftColor = SystemColors.ButtonHighlight;

Hi Claire,

Thank you for writing.

You can use RadButtonElement instead of LightVisualElement. In addition, there is no quick way to copy the button styles since they are set in the theme. 

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
