Hi,

I am trying to make an abstraction layout between your components and my Forms/UserControls in order to manage the LookAndFeel and Apparence in the abstraction layout, but not in the final control.

So I make a MyComboBoxEdit Component
    public class MyComboBoxEdit : DevExpress.XtraEditors.ComboBoxEdit
    {
        public MyComboBoxEdit()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel cMyLook = new DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel(null);
            cMyLook.SetStyle(DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelStyle.Style3D, true, false);
             Properties.LookAndFeel.Assign(cMyLook);
        }
    }
 
 
When I add a new MyComboBoxEdit in a form, these lines are automaticaly generated in the .designer.cs
   this.cMyComboBoxEdit.Properties.LookAndFeel.Style = DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelStyle.Style3D;
   this.cMyComboBoxEdit.Properties.LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false;
   this.cMyComboBoxEdit.Properties.LookAndFeel.UseWindowsXPTheme = true;
 
 
If I change MyComboBoxEdit class, my form is not updated and keeps the old configuration of MyComboBoxEdit.
Therefore the abstraction layout is useless.

Do you have any Idea ?

Best regards,
Alexandre
