Style DataForm editors with css

[Marc]

Hello,

will it be possible to style the DataForm editors using css classes in a future release?

In our app we use the nativescript-themes plugin to switch between different css files to provide multiple themes for the user. So we cannot write the calues for the fillColor, the labelTextColor etc directly into the xml.

 

Best regards

Hello Marc,

Exposing these custom properties to the global CSS in NativeScript is not considered at this point as these properties are not part of the official CSS specifications.
However, you can change the styling of your RadDataForm properties runtime. 
For example (based on this documentation section):

public changeGroupLabelTextColor() {
    var group = this.myRuntimeDataFormComp.dataForm.getGroupByName("Main Info");
    group.titleStyle.labelTextColor = "Blue";
}

That said you can implement a logic that changes the styles via code-behind execution.
