The following code example demonstrates how to use the SetParameters(VisualStyleElement) method to set a VisualStyleRenderer to a new VisualStyleElement. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the VisualStyleRenderer class overview.
// Set the VisualStyleRenderer to a new element. private bool SetRenderer(VisualStyleElement element) { if (!VisualStyleRenderer.IsElementDefined(element)) { return false; } if (renderer == null) { renderer = new VisualStyleRenderer(element); } else { renderer.SetParameters(element); } return true; }
