Managed Colors with Office 2010 style

[Roberto Guerzoni]

Good morning. I am struggling to understand how to use the ButtonAdv control with office 2010 and managed style colors.

Running Windows 8.1 I do not get the desired result.

I would like a red button RGB (225; 0; 30) with the same intensity of Office2010. Black,

is it possible?

Thank you

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for using syncfusion products.

We would like to le t you know that your requirement can be achieved by using the buttons Paint event and apply the needed gradient to it. We have created a simple sample that applies the gradient color. Please customize the colors according to your requirement.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Regards,

Hi Paul,

 thanks so much for the quick response, I was not able to figure out that I could use this event to customize the control.

Have a nice day

Hello Paul, I tried your example but I am not satisfied with the look of the button. 

I have seen that the only way to get a gradient equal to the one used by ButtonAdv is to call the function PaintGradientDefault (e.Graphics, e.ClipRectangle, Color.FromArgb (225, 0, 30), Color.FromArgb (180, 00 , 30)); 

This function is inside the render Office2010 and private. How can I create a control derived from ButtonAdv and replace the color in the call PaintGradientDefault? I have not seen specific functions that enable me to derive the paint events.

Thank you

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for the update.

We would like to let you know that currently there is no support in ButtonAdv to provide customrenderer. the PaintGradientDefault() is kept as private which cannot be accessed. Please make use of the Button's Paint method and use the desired gradient layers as provided in our last sample.

Please make use of the below color combinations and if needed change the colors as needed.

cb.Colors = new Color[] { Color.FromArgb(223,0,30), Color.FromArgb(213,0,30), Color.FromArgb(207,0,30),

                    Color.FromArgb(194,0,30), Color.FromArgb(182,0,30), Color.FromArgb(178,0,30),

                    Color.FromArgb(179,0,30), Color.FromArgb(181,0,30), Color.FromArgb(184,0,30), 

                   Color.FromArgb(188,0,30), Color.FromArgb(194,0,30), Color.FromArgb(200,0,30)};

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Regards.
