Apply Themes

GanttView supports built-in ComponentOne themes available in C1.WPF.Theming library. You can apply any of the available C1 themes to the GanttView control and provide a customized and consistent appearance to the application. To understand how themes can be used effectively, see Theming.

The following image shows a GanttView with System theme applied to it.

The following steps illustrate how to apply C1 themes to GanttView. This example uses the sample created in the Quick start.

1. Create a Quick start application and install the following NuGet packages using the NuGet Package Manager.

   • C1.WPF.Themes
   • C1.WPF.Themes.System

2. Switch to the MainWindow.xaml.cs file and add the following import statements.

   • using C1.WPF.Themes;

3. Create a class, say MyTheme, to create an object of the C1Themes class.

   public class MyThemes
   {
       private static C1Theme _myTheme = null;
       public static C1Theme MyTheme
       {
           get
           {
               if (_myTheme == null)
               {
                   _myTheme = new C1ThemeSystem();
               }
               return _myTheme;
           }
       }
   }
   

4. Add the following code in the loaded event to apply the System theme to the GanttView control.

   //Apply C1 theme to GanttView 
   C1Theme.ApplyTheme(gv, MyThemes.MyTheme);
