Docking Manager: Header Foreground properties are not applied

[Floris Verhoeven]

Hello there,

I'm using the DockingManager in a WPF project with the following specifics:

• .NET 4.6.1
• Syncfusion packages on version 17.3.0.30

I'm using the the following XAML code:

<syncfusion:DockingManager

            x:Name="DockingManager"

            DockFill="True"

            PersistState="True"

            IsAnimationEnabledOnMouseOver="False"

            IsVS2013SidePanelEnable="True"

            HeaderBackground="LightGray"

            HeaderForeground="White"

            HeaderMouseOverBackground="LightSkyBlue"

            SelectedHeaderBackground="DarkBlue"

            HeaderForegroundSelected="White"

            Loaded="DockingManager_OnLoaded">

And I'm noticing that the background color is applied correctly, however the Foreground is not. The icons/buttons do change color but the header text does not. When I add a separate style for the Header, I'm noticing the same behaviour. Is this a known issue on your side, or am I still doing something wrong?

I'm setting the header text using theDockingManager.Header property.

Kind regards,

Floris Verhoeven

Hello,

Please note I'm also running the following code during application startup:

SfSkinManager.ApplyStylesOnApplication = true;

SfSkinManager.SetVisualStyle(mainWindow, VisualStyles.Office365);

During further testing, I've found that removing this code, fixes the issues. The Foreground color is now correctly applied on the Docking Manager header text. 

I would however prefer to keep globally applying that VisualStyle, I still think this behaviour is unexpected. 

Kind regards,

Hello,

I was able to reproduce the issue with your sample.

I was however forced to remove the package references and re-add them. You were using a beta package I did not have access too. Also I added the O365 Theme package which seemed to be missing. 

Please find my sample attached.

Kind regards,

Floris Verhoeven
