Examples

The following example shows how to create a custom ActivityDesignerTheme by deriving from the ActivityDesignerTheme class and setting the appropriate properties for the new theme.

public class CustomActivityDesignerTheme : ActivityDesignerTheme
{
    public CustomActivityDesignerTheme(WorkflowTheme theme)
        : base(theme)
    {
        base.Initialize();
        this.BorderStyle = DashStyle.Solid;
        this.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0);
        this.BackColorStart = Color.FromArgb(37, 15, 242);
        this.BackColorEnd = Color.FromArgb(189, 184, 254);
        this.BackgroundStyle = LinearGradientMode.Vertical;
        this.ForeColor = Color.Black;
    }
}

Public Class CustomActivityDesignerTheme
    Inherits ActivityDesignerTheme
    Public Sub New(ByVal theme As WorkflowTheme)
        MyBase.new(theme)

        MyBase.Initialize()
        Me.BorderStyle = DashStyle.Solid
        Me.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0)
        Me.BackColorStart = Color.FromArgb(37, 15, 242)
        Me.BackColorEnd = Color.FromArgb(189, 184, 254)
        Me.BackgroundStyle = LinearGradientMode.Vertical
        Me.ForeColor = Color.Black
    End Sub
End Class

To use the theme on an ActivityDesigner, apply the ActivityDesignerThemeAttribute to the ActivityDesigner class.

[ActivityDesignerTheme(typeof(CustomActivityDesignerTheme))]
public class CustomActivityDesigner2 : ActivityDesigner

<ActivityDesignerTheme(GetType(CustomActivityDesignerTheme))> _
Public Class CustomActivityDesigner2
    Inherits ActivityDesigner

Remarks

Note

This material discusses types and namespaces that are obsolete. For more information, see Deprecated Types in Windows Workflow Foundation 4.5.

Designer themes define the look and feel of a designer. This includes any background styles, foreground styles, fonts, and icons defined for the designer.

You can create a custom designer theme if you want to provide configuration abilities to properties unique to your designer. If you do not specify a designer theme for a custom designer, the theme from the base class is used.
