Using Themes

[Caroline Jaensch]

Is there a way to apply a theme at runtime to an individual element in a radCarousel e.g. apply a theme to radButtonElement.

Regards,

Hello Caroline Jaensch,

Thank you for the question

Generally, you can set a theme only at a control level. Themes cannot be set at an element level. This behavior is designed to bring you performance optimizations.

Still, there is a way to apply a custom style for a RadButtonElement. In order to do so, you should take the style from an existing theme containing settings for a button and then apply this style to the desired button element:

StyleBuilder builder = ThemeResolutionService.GetRegisteredControlStyleBuilder(
typeof(RadCarousel).FullName,
typeof(RootRadElement).FullName,
"Desert");
if (builder != null)
{
    builder.BuildStyle(this.radCarousel1.CarouselElement.ButtonPrevious);
}

I am attaching a sample project which demonstrates this approach. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
