# How to: Enable Visual Styles in a Hybrid Application
|
|
|
|
This topic shows how to enable visual styles on a Windows Forms control hosted in a [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_winclient](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-winclient-md.md)]-based application.
|
|
|
|
If your application calls the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles%2A> method, most of your Windows Forms controls will automatically use visual styles. For more information, see [Rendering Controls with Visual Styles](/dotnet/framework/winforms/controls/rendering-controls-with-visual-styles).
|
|
|
|
For a complete code listing of the tasks illustrated in this topic, see [Enabling Visual Styles in a Hybrid Application Sample](https://github.com/microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/master/Migration%20and%20Interoperability/HostingWfWithVisualStyles).
|
|
|
|
## Enabling Windows Forms Visual Styles
|
|
|
|
#### To enable Windows Forms visual styles
|
|
|
|
1. Create a [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_winclient](../../../includes/tla2sharptla-winclient-md.md)] Application project named `HostingWfWithVisualStyles`.
|
|
|
|
2. In Solution Explorer, add references to the following assemblies.
|
|
|
|
- WindowsFormsIntegration
|
|
|
|
- System.Windows.Forms
|
|
|
|
3. In the Toolbox, double-click the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid> icon to place a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid> element on the design surface.
|
|
|
|
4. In the Properties window, set the values of the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Height%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width%2A> properties to **Auto**.
|
|
|
|
5. In Design view or XAML view, select the <xref:System.Windows.Window>.
|
|
|
|
6. In the Properties window, click the **Events** tab.
|
|
|
|
7. Double-click the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Loaded> event.
|
|
|
|
8. In MainWindow.xaml.vb or MainWindow.xaml.cs, insert the following code to handle the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Loaded> event.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[HostingWfWithVisualStyles#11](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/HostingWfWithVisualStyles/CSharp/HostingWfWithVisualStyles/Window1.xaml.cs#11)]
|
|
[!code-vb[HostingWfWithVisualStyles#11](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/HostingWfWithVisualStyles/VisualBasic/HostingWfWithVisualStyles/Window1.xaml.vb#11)]
|
|
|
|
9. Press F5 to build and run the application.
|
|
|
|
The Windows Forms control is painted with visual styles.
|
|
|
|
## Disabling Windows Forms Visual Styles
|
|
|
|
To disable visual styles, simply remove the call to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles%2A> method.
|
|
|
|
#### To disable Windows Forms visual styles
|
|
|
|
1. Open MainWindow.xaml.vb or MainWindow.xaml.cs in the Code Editor.
|
|
|
|
2. Comment out the call to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles%2A> method.
|
|
|
|
3. Press F5 to build and run the application.
|
|
|
|
The Windows Forms control is painted with the default system style.
