Vista Style Grid

[User (Old forums)]

#14835 |

Is is possible we can get a vista style for this grid or at least point me to some documentation to where I can create the style myself? I saw in the documentation how you can apply a stylesheet to a grid but nowhere did it go over how to create your own stylesheet….

Thanks,

Hi,

We are working on Vista styles for the next upcoming release. You can also do it yourself, but in this case we’re probably going to save you the trouble. Can you post a description of what you really need? (a screenshot will be fine too). A “Vista style” can be interpreted a little differently depending on who you ask…

I found a code sample to add a stylesheet programmatically and it is really nice. However, the basic background image for the header row does not work with images!….

Here is what I’m using:

Public Class XceedVistaGridStyleSheet
Inherits StyleSheet

Public Sub New()
Dim ImagePath As String = Application.StartupPath
ImagePath = ImagePath.Replace(“\bin\Debug”, “”)
ImagePath = ImagePath + “\XceedStyleSheetImages\”

Me.ColumnManagerRow.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(ImagePath + “ColumnHeaderBackground.jpg”)
Me.ColumnManagerRow.BackgroundImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft
Me.ColumnManagerRow.BackgroundImageStyle = ImageStyle.Stretch

End Sub
End Class

If I add a data row and do the same properties the image shows up fine for every row… but nothing works w/the columnmanagerrow.backgroundimage properties…

These forums don’t let you post screenshots, the pictures have to be hosted somewhere on the internet and then link to them. To save you the trouble, you can email me any screenshots directly:

Send them to: KosmatosO@xceedsoft.com

It most likely that the UIStyle property of the GridControl is not set to WindowsClassic. Thus the WindowsXP theming is painted over your image.
