Combining Strataframe and Infragistics classes

Is it possible to combine the Strataframe classes, particularly the Business Objects, with the Infragistics classes in order to get the look and feel of these?

Thank you,

Alex

I really don't know what you mean.  StrataFrame has its own UI controls and Infragistics theirs.  If you want to use Infragistics controls and take advantage of their application themes, then you can with the SF data-binding since we provide an Infragistics wrapper.  If you want to use the SF application themes then you could use them instead.  As for the SF exclusive controls such as the BrowseDialog and controls of that nature, we have no plans of using any controls other than our own.  These are very deep and complex controls and providing multiple code bases is not a feasible solution.  We had initially started down this path on the BrowseDialog and it became a full-time job on that one control alone providing multiple code bases, localization, theme support, etc.  This is why we only provide these types of controls with the SF controls.  One thing you can do if you like the Infragistics themese, etc.  is use the Infragistics wrapper, then turn on the SF Theme support to BlueSkies, for example, and there is little difference in their blue theme and ours as it relates to colors.
