Skinned NavBar does not used Skin Controller

created 16 years ago

I was wondering if there was a way to have the NavBar use the skin set in the SkinController? The problem that I am running into is that i do not see a way to change the skin in code so if our users switch skins the NavBar remains with the default skin and looks bad.

    Hello Matthew.
    Thank you for your message.
    First of all, make sure that you are using a ViewStyle that allows you to define the dxNavBar's skin - SkinExplorerBarView or SkinNavigationPaneView.
    After that, you should use one of the following methods:

    1. Do not define the dxNavBar's ViewStyle->SkinName property value manually. In this case, skins from the dxSkinController will be applied to the dxNavBar.
    2. Change its style by accessing its ViewStyle->SkinName property as follows:
    Code
    ((TdxNavBarSkinNavPanePainter*) dxNavBar->ViewStyle)->SkinName = "Caramel";

    After applying skins using this approach, you will be unable to change the dxNavBar's skin using the dxSkinController, because the dxNavBar will use its own local skin.
    Attached is an example that shows how to perform this task using both these approaches.
    1st approach - check some cxRadioGroup's item;
    2nd approach - press the button in the bottom of the form.
    Hopefully, it will help you achieve the required functionality.
    Best regards,
    Ingvar.
