Re: Skinners with DevExpress components?

The current solution that Link-Rank has isn't too bad, but incomplete.

As you know, DevExpress's QG4 & 5 support three view styles (Table, Banded
Table, and Card).

I suggested to Link-Rank to write a TVCLSkincxGrid component inherited from
TcxGrid and handle the mapping of the latest styles as needed.

For now, I will just use VCLSkin with the Longhorn skin + setting my
DevExpress QG5's skin to the Office 11 Look & Feel. Since both are blue
based, they kind of work.

Best Regards,

Shane
