Visual Style Builder - Panorama

[jesse]

When trying to create a custom theme for a Panorama, I can import the xml into the theme manager, but it does not show up.  I've done this with other control (buttons for example) and it works.  I've found that some control require some "Base" controls to also be themed, but I haven't found any documentation as to a hierarchy of requirements for a control to work.

 Is there such a list, and if not, can someone at least tell me what control I need to theme in order to get a RadPanorama to accept my custom theme.  Mostly this is simply to get it to use my custom scrollbar (which *has* been themed).

 Thanks.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for writing.

You should create a single theme and set the styles for the scrollbar and the panorama control in it (see attached image). Then you can just load the theme and apply it to the panorama. I have attached a small sample to show you how this works (I have just changed a few properties in the panorama and the scrollbar)

In addition, the easiest approach for creating a theme would be to extract the predefined themes and see how they are created and which properties are changed in them. More information about this is available in the following articles:

• Using custom themes
• Loading Predefined Themes 

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