Change a visual style at run time

If you need a visual style to change at run time, you can swap in a new style or styles from any command handler, filter, or snap-in instance list using this logic:

 

#avFrameworkManager.avSubstituteVisualStyle Ustyle(#MYSTYLE_A) Uasname('VF_VS106')

#avFrameworkManager.avSubstituteVisualStyle Ustyle(#MYSTYLE_B) Uasname('VF_VS101') Usignalchanged(True)

 

Where uStyle(#MYSTYLE_A) is a visual style that you have defined in the repository, and 'VF_VS106' is one of the styles currently being used by the Framework.

If uSignalChanged is true the Framework will apply the changes and the replacement styles will be visible.
