TcxLookAndFeel.MasterLookAndFeel Property

Provides access to the look & feel settings that are in effect when corresponding setting modification flags are not set.

Declaration

property MasterLookAndFeel: TcxLookAndFeel read; write;

Property Value

The parent look & feel settings that affect a control when the AssignedValues property value includes no corresponding modification flags.

This property always returns nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder) for global look & feel settings accessible through the RootLookAndFeel function.

Remarks

The MasterLookAndFeel property provides access to the source of default look & feel settings for the current property set. A DevExpress control or dialog can inherit its look & feel settings from a TdxSkinController component (global settings) or its parent DevExpress component.

You can use the MasterLookAndFeel property to explicitly define the source of default look & feel settings for a DevExpress control.

Note

DevExpress controls never inherit look & feel settings from containers, such as TdxLayoutControl, TdxPanel, etc. We recommend that you use a TdxSkinController component to apply the same look & feel settings to all DevExpress controls and forms in an application.

Every component that can be a source of default look & feel settings (such as TdxSkinController) must implement the IcxLookAndFeelNotificationListener interface.
