1. Install DevExpress and AlphaControls
2. Enable the 'DEVEX' key in the sDefs.inc file (AlphaControls), must be {$DEFINE DEVEX}
3. Be sure that latest version of DevExpress is installed, or check a list of supported DevExpress versions in the beginning of the acLFPainter.pas file (AlphaControls)
4. Configure the sSkinManager component and compile the project.

In the run-time will be skinned all DevExpress controls which have LookAndFeel property properly supported. LookAndFeel.NativeStyle property must be False.

Hi Serge,

I have DevExpress 2011.2.9

At the top of acLFPainter i find:

Code:

{$DEFINE VER14_1_2} // cxGrid version 14.1.2 and newer
{$DEFINE VER13_2_2}
{$DEFINE VER12_2_3}
{$DEFINE VER12_1_6}
{$DEFINE VER26}
{$DEFINE VER23}
{$DEFINE VER653}
{$DEFINE VER650}
{$DEFINE VER645}
{$DEFINE VER640}

Which of these defines must be kept and which must be hidden. Or where can I find the versions that the module tests?

By trial and error, I found that for version 2011.2.9 the following combination of defines is needed:

Code:

//{$DEFINE VER14_1_2} // cxGrid version 14.1.2 and newer
//{$DEFINE VER13_2_2}
//{$DEFINE VER12_2_3}
{$DEFINE VER12_1_6}
//{$DEFINE VER26}
{$DEFINE VER23}
{$DEFINE VER653}
//{$DEFINE VER650}
//{$DEFINE VER645}
//{$DEFINE VER640}

That's no way obvious is it? Those version numbers don't make any sense. Or what do I not see?

Regards ;-}

This list of keys used for different versions of DevExpress package, because changes in declarations exists there.

I already understood that.

But look at the definitions that were needed to get it to work with DevExpress 2011.2.9.0:

Code:

{$DEFINE VER12_1_6}
{$DEFINE VER23}
{$DEFINE VER653}

That list can only be made by trial and error. There's no logic in it. There must be a better way.:eek:
