Lecture 3: Asp.Net+Autofac+EF/ADO.NET Winform OA(3) - Enable DevExpress Skin Function

Author: Ditch Oil

Preface:

Because the color of the system is too monotonous, we decided to enable DevExpress skin-changing function to make the interface more beautiful! ___________

The author's Dev Express has been changed to 17.2.3, but if you don't want to upgrade, you can continue to use the old version of Dev Express, because the old and the new are not so different!

1. First, we go into Program and add the following code in Main():

1 //Enable skin
2             DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableFormSkins();
3             DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelHelper.ForceDefaultLookAndFeelChanged();
4             DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableMdiFormSkins();

2. Open the frmMain form and add an Xtra Tabbed Mdi Manager, Bar Manager, Dock Manager, DefaultLook AndFeel, named as:

3. A new BarEditItem named beItemColor is added at the bottom of Bar.

4. Create a new Skins table in the database to save the skin selected by the user. (Of course, you can write to Xml, and you can skip this section if you choose to write to Xml)

Skins

5. Update the entity in the ivw.Models class to save the changed skin to the database later.

6. Enter the frmMain background and write the following code:

 1         #region Enable skin void SetSkins()
 2         void SetSkins()
 3         {
 4             foreach (DevExpress.Skins.SkinContainer skin in DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.Default.Skins)
 5             {
 6                 ricbColor.Items.Add(skin.SkinName);
 7             }
 8 
 9                 dLookAndFeel.LookAndFeel.SkinName = beItemColor.EditValue.ToString();
10 
11             this.beItemColor.EditValueChanged += BeItemColor_EditValueChanged;
12         }
13 
14         private void BeItemColor_EditValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
15         {
16             dLookAndFeel.LookAndFeel.SkinName = beItemColor.EditValue.ToString();
17         }
18         #endregion
