Customize DatePicker to look according NT theme

[rfsettling]

Hello

I develope NT add-on, using example https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

All controls I use behave correctly with exception of DatePicker, it does not change the background color according to the current NT theme (screenshot attached). What shall I do to make it look as other controls?

DatePicker declaration in XAML:
<DatePicker x:Name="endDate" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>

Hi,

i think its possible to load a designtheme to fit your datepicker to the rest of the AddOnFramework, but i don't know how to do that.

I had the same problem with a datagrid control.
I solved the styling problem by setting the color on control finding at LoadXAML():

Add the following code to your LoadXAML()

var yourBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb((byte)30, (byte)30, (byte)30));
yourDatePicker.Background = Brushes.yourBrush;
yourDatePicker.Foreground = Brushes.White; 

Try and tell me if its working.

Setting hard-coded brush does not work because the NT theme may be different: Light Gray, Dark Gray, etc. I need to get access to the background color, which NT uses for the current theme, but I don't know how to do it

Hello rfsettling,

Our development has let me know this is a XamDateTimeEditor from the Infragistics library.

This can be added with XAML:

Add a namespace:

xmlns:editors="http://infragistics.com/Editors"

Add the object:

<editors:XamDateTimeEditor Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Value="7/12/2017" />

Or from C#.

References to InfragisticsWPF4.Editors.v15.1.dll and InfragisticsWPF4.v15.1.dll are necessary.

};
