     Hi there

    Is there any way we can use Skin functionality for the external user controls which are not derived from standard DevExpress controls?

    Thanks in advance,

    Binoy

    I can't imagine this is possible.

    I was also hoping it could be possible, if only for the RichTextBox control's scroll bars.

    Take a look at the following regarding using the Skin element painter to draw controls:

    Robert, you may also want to look into using the XtraScrollable control in conjunction wit the RichTextEdit for skinned scroll bars. I think you just need to dock the RichTextEdit to the XtraScrollable control, and set the scrolling properties on the RichTextEditor to false.
