Declaration

delphi

property LayoutLookAndFeel: TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel

The target layout look & feel component (a terminal TdxCustomLayoutLookAndFeel descendant instance).

In addition to general appearance options (such as skins), layout look & feel components also include layout item and group-specific options (like paddings, offsets, and border appearance settings).

Remarks

The Layout control can have individual look & feel settings or automatically synchronize ( recommended ) with the skin and palette defined using a TdxSkinController component or the Project Settings dialog.

If you need to apply different appearance settings to your Layout control, assign a layout look & feel component to the LayoutLookAndFeel property.

Note

If a vector skin is applied to the Layout control, the skin always uses the color palette defined at the global level (TdxSkinController.SkinPaletteName).

How to Use Layout Look & Feel Components

Use a TdxLayoutLookAndFeelList component to manage look & feel storage components.
You can associate one TdxLayoutSkinLookAndFeel component with multiple Layout controls and their groups/items to share settings.

Layout Look & Feel Component Manager

Use the TdxLayoutLookAndFeelList component to manage layout look & feel components. Call the TdxLayoutLookAndFeelList.CreateItem function or use the Designer dialog available at design time.
