I added an InboxControlStyler to my test form along with a mix of Infragistics and MS inbox controls. (Panel, Textbox, Button). The panel was appropriately updated but neither the textbox or button inbox controls were updated. Can you offer any thoughts on why this would be?
I am loading the Office2007Blue, Black and Silver styles using:
Infragistics.Win.AppStyling.StyleManager.Load("Styles/" + ultraComboEditor1.Value.ToString());
No issues with that code it just doesn't seem to work. Color me confused. See screenshot
Hi,
I loaded the Office2007 isl's into AppStylist and it does not seem to affect the Inbox controls in there, either. My guess is that these style libraries simply don't include styling for those controls. This is probably because the controls theselves are not robust enough to handle the complexities of Office2007 styles.
All AppStylist can do for Inbox control is set properties on the controls themselves. So it could set the BackColor on the control, but Office2007 has complicated borders, gradients, and hot tracking.
The isl's should probably include some more reasonable default values for the inbox controls, but in general, you would be better off using UltraTextEditor and UltraButton to get a better look for your application.
If you want to report this is a bug in the isl files, you can certainly do that: Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support
Thanks for the quick reply Mike. I appreciate your time. Looking at the AppStylist I see that there are indeed very limited options available to style the inbox controls. I was just trying to determine if we need to make it a hard rule that Infragistics controls must be used unless there isn't a suitable replacement for an inbox control. You've answered that question.
