Hello,
I am happy with the diagram control, however I am experiencing some issues with visual styles / themes / skins. I need to ask the following questions,
#1 How do I create my own themes with the Syncfusion tool? I attempted to dim a variable as a new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.VisualStyle and that did not make available the underlying properties.
#2 I need to display the Diagram Control next to the PropertyEditor. The Diagram control was set to a dock style of fill and the property editor was set to right. I confirmed that the call, Me.Controls.Add, added the property editor to the form first then the diagram control. This resulted in the diagram control scroll bars drawn behind the property editor. After making some changes and including panels to house the controls the problem continued. Finally, I created a main form that includes the symbol pallete and the property editor and this calls a System.Windows.Forms.UserControl that includes the diagram control. The display of all the controls windows are placed as expected, however, when I attempt to update the style /skin / theme the property window does not update, the symbol palette does paint with the new style. Is there an explicit call that will refresh the property window?
#3 The PropertyEditor does not have a visualstyle property? How does it know to change its appearance?
#4 The SymbolPalette properties for backcolor and headerbackcolor, I attempt to change these during run time and view their values. The values do not update as expected. Is there a specific way to code the values?
If you need me to create an example that demonstrates my questions, please let me know. Thank you for your time and help.
