RadDesktopAlertManager styling via DesktopAlertParameters DesktopAlertStyle

[Oleg]

I have an application which uses VistaTheme. If I want RadDesktopAlertManager to be using VisualStudio2013Theme, can I do that via DesktopAlertParameters DesktopAlertStyle somehow? Or in any other way?

Hello,

If you set the Vista theme as application theme through StyleManager, you can set a different theme on control level by using the StyleManager.SetTheme method:

var alert = this.CreateAlert();
StyleManager.SetTheme(alert, new VisualStudio2013Theme());
this.bottomRightManager.ShowAlert(alert);

where:

private RadDesktopAlertManager bottomRightManager = new RadDesktopAlertManager(AlertScreenPosition.BottomRight, 10);

 If you use NoXaml and implicit themes, you will need to merge the VisualStudio2013 resources as follows:

var alert = this.CreateAlert();

alert.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary()
{
    Source = new Uri("/Telerik.Windows.Themes.VisualStudio2013;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
});
alert.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary()
{
    Source = new Uri("/Telerik.Windows.Themes.VisualStudio2013;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
});

this.bottomRightManager.ShowAlert(alert);

I hope this helps.
