2 minutes to read

The TreeList control’s look and feel depends on the skin applied to the application.

Office 2019 Colorful

Office 2016 Dark

Visual Studio 2010

DevExpress Style Dark

To specify the application skin, use the DevExpress Project Settings window:

in the Solution Explorer , right-click the project
in the context menu, invoke the DevExpress Project Settings command
use the Skin Name combo box to select a skin
use the Skin Palette combo box to select a color palette (for vector-image-based skins only)

See the following help topic for more information about application settings: Project Settings Page.

Visual Elements and Appearances

The control consists of multiple visual elements — columns, rows, cells, column headers, buttons, etc. The skin specifies each visual element’s appearance settings — background and foreground colors, font face, size and style, etc. For example, cells are filled with white, column headers — with gray. You can use the TreeList.Appearance property to access and customize appearance settings for each visual element.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

treeList1.Appearance.HotTrackedRow.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;

treeList1.Appearance.HotTrackedRow.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue

See the following help topic for more information about skins and appearance settings: Application Appearance and Skin Colors.

Skin Editor

You can also use Skin Editor to customize a specific visual element’s appearance.

Tip

To identify a visual element, hold Ctrl and click it.
