We upgraded to infragistics 9.2.20092.2119 (from 6.2) and UltraDateTimeEditor dropdown doesn't look right.
The dropdown portion of ultradateTimeEditor (InboxDateTimePicker) does not pick the appearance from InboxDateTimePicker (grey background versus white background , Dark blue Caption header versus White.). Even the selected date looks different.
You can see this behavior in AppStylist. I have attached snapshots of UltraDateTimeEditor and InboxDateTimePicker.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this. I hate to change all my UltraDateTimeEditor controls to UltraCalendarCombo.

The appearance of this control depends on a number of factors.
If you are looking at it in AppStylist, then what isl file are you loading?
AppStylist does not enable Visual Styles, which are enabled by default in most applications.
What operating system are you using? And what theme?
I have attached isl. and as you can see we use the default appearance for that control.
We do not enable visual styles in our application. And this is how we apply the ISLInfragistics.Win.AppStyling.StyleManager.Load(sISLPath)Operating System: XP Professional, Version 2002 Service Pack 3
UseOsThemes is set to Default for all of our controls.
I am sorry I am just not able to get this right. Would you be able to update the isl file enclosed earlier so the title color is green and titleforecolor is white and background is white.
I was able to change the colors of Inbox MonthCalendar to how I want but ultradatetimeeditor does not change at all.
Hi,
Are you saying this is not working in your application, or it's not working in AppStylist? I tested this out in AppStylist before I posted my reply and it worked just fine for me.
Both. the editor control in AppStylist does not have ANY effect after changing inbox DateTimePicker.
I can see my changes in Inbox DateTimePicker. If there a hot fix out for this release? I am using 9.2.20092.2119
I'm confused. :)
There are two different objects here. One is the MonthCalendar control which is included in the DotNet Framework. To style this control, you have to use the MonthCalendar Control Role as I described above.
The dropdown for the UltraDateTimeEditor dropdown is separate. This happens to be using the same control internally, but since it's contained within the UltraDateTeimeEditor, the UltraDateTimeEditor can handle styling it with some UI Roles. In this case, the EditorControl role is already being applied to the dropdown. You can also use the DotNetMonthCalendar UI Role to alter the appearance of this dropdown.
Thanks, I used DotNetMonthDropDown and DotNetMonthDropDownTitle UI Roles and was able to change the appearance of the ultradatetimeditor dropdown control.
I was in a impression that I need to change appearance of Inbox DateTimePicker to change the dropdown appearance of UltraDateTimeEditor as its contained within UltraDateTimeEditor.
