Modifying a skin element's settings doesn't update skin information cached by this skin element

created 11 years ago (modified 11 years ago)

I'm using a skin for my application controlled by TdxSkinController, but I want to set a different color/texture for the background of the TileControl which is part of the skinned form.

I can't exclude the TileControl from being skinned using the TdxSkinController.OnSkinControl event, because it's not an supported component.

Accessing the skin elements in the following way doesn't work either:

Delphi
if RootLookAndFeel.Painter.GetPainterData(APainterInfo) then  
begin  
  ASkin := APainterInfo.Skin;  
  if ASkin.GetGroupByName('TileControl', AGroup) then  
  begin  
    if AGroup.GetElementByName('Background', AElement) then  
    begin  
      AElement.Color := clWindowText;  
    end;  
  end;  
end;

Is there a way to accomplish this without modifying the skin?

    Hello Denis,

    As far as I understand, you can erase the TdxTileControl.LookAndFeel.SkinName property to accomplish your task. Please try this. Does it meet your requirements?

        If you just wish to change the background color of the skinned TileColntrol, I suggest you use the approach you mentioned in your question section.

          But that doesn't seem to work. Could you please check it or provide a sample?

            I've checked this approach. It seems that something is broken. I'm forwarding the issue to our developers for further processing. You will receive an automatic message once the status of this issue is changed.
            As a temporary workaround, you can resize the TileControl.
