System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles Namespace
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace contains classes for rendering controls and other Windows user
interface (UI) elements with visual styles in operating systems that support them.

Introduction
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace contains the following main classes:
VisualStyleElement is a foundation class for identifying any control or UI element supported by visual styles. In
addition to VisualStyleElement itself, the System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace includes many nested
classes of VisualStyleElement with static properties that return a VisualStyleElement for every state of a control,
control part, or other UI element supported by visual styles. For example, the Pressed property of the
VisualStyleElement.Button.PushButton class returns a VisualStyleElement that identifies a button in the pressed state
with visual styles.
VisualStyleRenderer provides methods that draw and get information about each VisualStyleElement defined by the
current visual style of the operating system. Information that can be retrieved about an element includes its default
size, background type, and color definitions.
VisualStyleInformation provides a set of static properties that provide information about the current visual style of
the operating system.
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace also includes a set of enumerations. Some of these enumerations,
such as PushButtonState and ComboBoxState, provide state definitions for related visual style elements. Most of the
other enumerations support VisualStyleRenderer methods that return information about a particular element. For
example, the EnumProperty enumeration provides the possible argument values for the GetEnumValue method.
Finally, the VisualStyleState enumeration provides values that define how visual styles are currently applied to the
application.

VisualStyleElement VisualStyleElement Class
Identifies a control or user interface (UI) element that is drawn with visual styles.

D eclaration
public class VisualStyleElement
type VisualStyleElement = class

I nheritance H ierarchy
Object Object

Remarks
The VisualStyleElement class identifies a Windows control or user interface (UI) element that is defined by the current
visual style of the operating system. A visual style element is defined in terms of class, part, and state:
The class identifies a group of related visual style elements that are typically drawn together. The class is specified by
the ClassName property.
The part defines a discrete member of a class. The part is specified by the Part property.
The state describes the current visual state of the element defined by the class and part. The state is specified by the
State property.
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace exposes hundreds of VisualStyleElement objects that represent
the controls and user interface elements that can be defined by a visual style. These objects are exposed as static
properties of nested classes of VisualStyleElement. For each property, the qualified name of the owning class
represents the class and the part of the drawn element, and the property name represents the state of the element. For
example, the VisualStyleElement.Button.PushButton.Pressed property returns a VisualStyleElement that can be used to
draw a button in the pressed state with visual styles. The Pressed property name corresponds to the state,
PushButton corresponds to the part, and Button identifies the class of the visual style element.

To draw a visual style element, create a VisualStyleRenderer, set it to the VisualStyleElement you wish to draw, and
then call the DrawBackground method. To determine whether the current visual style provides a definition for a
particular element, call the IsElementDefined method with the element as the argument.
VisualStyleElement and VisualStyleRenderer wrap the functionality of the visual styles API from the Windows Shell
portion of the Windows Platform SDK. For more information on visual styles, see "Using Windows XP Visual Styles" in
the Platform SDK portion of the MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.

A string that represents the class name of a visual style element.

Remarks
A class name refers to a group of related visual style elements that are typically drawn together. A class name can
correspond to a control, such as "SCROLLBAR" and "TRACKBAR", but a class name can also refer to a group of
elements that do not correspond to a particular control, such as "EXPLORERBAR" and "STARTPANEL".

Remarks
A part is a discrete member of a class of visual style elements. For example, visual style elements that represent a check
box, radio button, and push button are all considered parts of the "BUTTON" class.
Part values are integers that range from 1 to the number of parts defined for a particular class. For more information

Provides methods for drawing and getting information about a VisualStyleElement. This class cannot be inherited.

D eclaration
public sealed class VisualStyleRenderer
type VisualStyleRenderer = class

I nheritance H ierarchy
Object Object

Remarks
The System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace exposes VisualStyleElement objects that represent all of the
controls and user interface (UI) elements that are supported by visual styles. To draw or get information about a
particular element, you must set a VisualStyleRenderer to the element you are interested in. A VisualStyleRenderer is
automatically set to a specified VisualStyleElement in the VisualStyleRenderer constructor, but you can also set an
existing VisualStyleRenderer to a different element by calling the SetParameters method.
To draw an element, use the DrawBackground method. The VisualStyleRenderer class also includes methods, such as
GetColor and GetEnumValue, that provide information about how an element is defined by the current visual style.
The VisualStyleRenderer constructor and many of the VisualStyleRenderer methods throw exceptions unless visual
styles are enabled in the operating system and visual styles are applied to the client area of application windows. To
check for these conditions, use the static IsSupported property.
The VisualStyleRenderer class wraps the functionality of the visual styles (UxTheme) API from the Windows Shell
portion of the Windows Platform SDK.

Constructors
VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement)
VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement)

Initializes a new instance of the VisualStyleRenderer class using the given VisualStyleElement.

VisualStyleRenderer(String, Int32, Int32)

VisualStyleRenderer(String, Int32, Int32)

Properties

IsSupported
IsSupported

Gets a value specifying whether the operating system is using visual styles to draw controls.

LastHResult
LastHResult

Gets the last error code returned by the native visual styles (UxTheme) API methods encapsulated by the
VisualStyleRenderer class.
