RadDock: setting the ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName property to false doesn't respected the RadDock.ThemeName

If you apply one theme to the entire application and want to apply another theme for RadDock as it is demonstrated in this help article, the ThemeName property of RadDock is not respected:

             

        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            radDock1.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName = false;
            radDock1.ThemeName = "FluentDark"; 
            ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Windows7"; 
        }

Hello, Jeff,         

Usually, it is expected that the RadDock.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName property is set to false in your case. However, feel free to use this approach which suits your requirements best.

Note that we will do our best to introduce a fix as soon as possible in the upcoming latest internal builds. Make sure that you follow this item. Thus, you will get notified once any status changes occur.

Dear Dess,

your way not work, but mine.

After set .MdiParent

I call:

  public void SetThemes()

        {            
            foreach (var strip in ControlHelper.GetChildControls<DockTabStrip>(this, true))
            {
                if (strip.DockManager != radDock1) continue;                
                strip.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName = false; // radDock1.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName;
                strip.ThemeName = "FluentDark";
            }
        }

 

in the Form with Dock

Hello, Jeff,        

I completely understand the impact of this issue. However, RadDock is quite a complex control which uses another nested controls to provide the rich layout capabilities it offers.

We will do our best to introduce a fix as soon as possible. Meanwhile, feel free to use the suggested approach and apply the specific theme for each separate DockTabStrip. 

Should you have further questions please let me know.

What I'd like is that all components work as it should do.

Hello, Jeff,        

Indeed, RadDock doesn't apply the theme properly because it hosts other controls.  I have also updated your Telerik points.

Currently, the possible solution that I can suggest is to handle the ThemeNameChanged event and use the following code snippet:

        private void radDock1_ThemeNameChanged(object source, ThemeNameChangedEventArgs args)
        {
            string themeName = this.radDock1.ThemeName;

            foreach (DockTabStrip strip in ControlHelper.GetChildControls<DockTabStrip>(this, true))
            {
                if (strip.DockManager == this.radDock1)
                {
                    strip.ThemeName = themeName;
                    strip.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName = this.radDock1.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName;
                }
            } 
        }
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
