Syncfusion Panel control with themes

[tttmack]

Is there a Syncfusion panel control (or something similar) that I can apply various theming options to?

I am using a 3rd party, form another company, that derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form and I would like to apply Syncfusion background theming to that form so that I can make it look like my other forms in my product.

What I would like is for a Syncfusion control like a panel, where I can set the Dock to Fill and then set the Theme of the panel to Office2007, Office2010, or Metro (and when set to Office, I can choose Blue, Black, Silver). 

Does such a control exist or is there another control that I can Dock to my form as a background that I can use the various Syncfusion theming options with?

If there isn't such a control, can you please tell me the color codes(three numbers) for the following so that I can set my background color depending on which theme the user chooses?

Office2007Form Blue, Office2007Form Silver, Office2007Form Black, Office2010Form Blue, Office2010Form Silver, Office2010Form Black.

Hi Taylour,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

We regret to let you know that, at present we don’t the container control that supports the ColorScheme. However this can be achieved by customizing the BackColor of control named GradientPanel. Please refer the below code to change the back color for the GradientPanel. We have also prepared the sample for your reference and it can be downloaded from the following location.

Code Snippet[C#]:

//To Change the Back color of the GradientPanel

this.gradientPanel1.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#808080");

Sample Location : http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/119261/ze/GradientPanel-764106751

Additionally, we have different kind of form that supports the color scheme.

1)     Office2007Form

2)     Office2010Form

3)     MetroForm

The color scheme for this forms can be changed by using the below code snippet. We have prepared the sample for your reference and it can be downloaded from the below location.

Code Snippet[C#]:

//To change the color scheme for the Office2007Form

this.ColorScheme = Office2007Theme.Black;

//To change the color scheme for the Office2010Form

this.ColorScheme = Office2010Theme.Black;

Hello Sentil,

thanks for your help, but I am looking for the RGB Values for the various color schemes of the office forms.

So for example, Office2007Form Blue is something like: Color.FromArgb(187, 212, 246);

Note that Office2010Form Blue is a slightly different color.

The sample code you provided ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#add8e6"); does not look at all like the Blue from the Office2007Form.

if possible, I would like to know these RGB values for both Office2007Form and Office2010Form color schemes (as I said before, the RGB values may not be the same for both form types).

Using these values, I can set the back color property of a panel or picturebox depending on the theme I have set in my settings.

Thanks for your help.
