Global theme settings

[Administrator]

I've seen your example for apply custom colors to the office 2007 components. From what it seems the theme as to be applied to the individual components rather than have a global switch, is this correct?

Also, I'm not really understand what 'Managed' does for the theme settings on the component. Your documentation is a little lacking in explanations.

Thank you

Hi Terry,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

1) Setting Custom colors to Controls that has Managed ColorScheme:

Microsoft Office2007 has three Color Support that is Blue, Green and Silver. Syncfusion supports Office 2007 color scheme to most of its controls. Managed Color scheme support is setting custom colors to controls other than the default three colors.

Setting Managed ColorScheme:

To set custom colors, we need to set the ColorScheme as Managed. Then set the desired color using the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.Office12ColorTable. ApplyManagedColors() method. Please refer to the code snippets and the sample given below:

this.buttonAdv1.Office2007ColorScheme = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2007Theme.Managed;
this.tabControlAdv1.Office2007ColorScheme = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2007Theme.Managed;
this.checkBoxAdv1.Office2007ColorScheme = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2007Theme.Managed;
this.radioButtonAdv1.Office2007ColorScheme = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2007Theme.Managed;
this.comboBoxAdv1.Office2007ColorTheme = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2007Theme.Managed;
Office2007Colors.ApplyManagedColors(this, Color.Green);

2) Add support to set the different managed colors to the individual controls seperately:

Currently we do not provide support to 'Add support to set the different managed colors to the individual controls seperately'. This has been confirmed as a Feature Request.

We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.

Note: We have notified our documentation team to include more documentation regarding the Office2007Color support.

Please let me know if any concerns.

Regards,
Fathima

Just wondering if that feature has been implemented?
