Subclassing DevExpress controls

Keith Chisarik — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:22:16 GMT

This is more a DevExpress question but I figured I would take a shot. I have subclassed a DevExpress WebForm control (ASPxTextBox) in an attempt to implement SF databinding.

Anyhow, it works well but the controls are not themed (which is 1/2 the point of having DevExpress right?)

Has anyone successfully subclassed DevExpress web controls and preserved theming?

It isnt the SF stuff, I took it out and it still doesnt look right.

Taking a flyer here.... thanks

Honestly, when it comes to the web, I generally create my own CSS tags to "theme out" whatever controls I am working on. I couldn't give you any guidance on the DevExpress controls as we don't even have an active subscription anymore and most likely won't keep one as we move forward. In SF 2.0, the BOs will natively bind to anything, so we won't have to subclass them, which is beneficial to all.
