Visual Style (PRIM_VS)
Visual style sets fonts and colors
Ancestors - Object (PRIM_OBJT)
A Visual Style is used to define the appearance of an application. It defines a common style to be used and adopted by multiple components. The visual style component controls style elements such as background color and font. Once you have created a Visual Style, you can use it as the VisualStyle in any component. A Visual Style consists of one of more Scheme. You define more than one scheme per style only if you are creating a multilingual application and you want to use different fonts and colors for different languages. Scheme Items are used to represent the three facets of a Scheme - Captions, Values and Titles. Visual Style Items are where you define the colors and fonts to be used. Visual Styles do not have complete control over an application appearance, with some features such as a title bars, scroll bars, and menus adopt colours based on operating system values.
For modern LANSA applications running under DirectX, Visual Styles have been superseded and should not be used. Applications running in the browser do not support Visual Styles. The use of Themes and Styles is recommended.
