VisualStyleRenderer
Examples
The following code example uses the VisualStyleRenderer class to implement a custom control that simulates some of the basic UI of a window, including dragging with the title bar, resizing with the sizing handle, and closing. This example uses several VisualStyleElement objects that represent standard parts of a window, including the elements exposed by the VisualStyleElement.Window.Caption, VisualStyleElement.Window.CloseButton, and VisualStyleElement.Status.Gripper classes.

Remarks
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace exposes VisualStyleElement objects that represent all of the controls and user interface (UI) elements that are supported by visual styles. To draw or get information about a particular element, you must set a VisualStyleRenderer to the element you are interested in. A VisualStyleRenderer is automatically set to a specified VisualStyleElement in the VisualStyleRenderer constructor, but you can also set an existing VisualStyleRenderer to a different element by calling the SetParameters method.
To draw an element, use the DrawBackground method. The VisualStyleRenderer class also includes methods, such as GetColor and GetEnumValue, that provide information about how an element is defined by the current visual style.
The VisualStyleRenderer constructor and many of the VisualStyleRenderer methods throw exceptions unless visual styles are enabled in the operating system and visual styles are applied to the client area of application windows. To check for these conditions, use the static IsSupported property.
The VisualStyleRenderer class wraps the functionality of the visual styles (UxTheme) API from the Windows Shell portion of the Windows Platform SDK.
Constructors
| VisualStyleRenderer(String, Int32, Int32) |
Initializes a new instance of the VisualStyleRenderer class using the given class, part, and state values. |
| VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement) |
Initializes a new instance of the VisualStyleRenderer class using the given VisualStyleElement. |
Properties
| Class |
Gets the class name of the current visual style element. |
| Handle |
