VisualStyleRenderer Constructor (VisualStyleElement)

This constructor uses the VisualStyleElement.ClassName, VisualStyleElement.Part, and VisualStyleElement.State properties of the element parameter to initialize the Class, Part, and State properties.

Before using this constructor, you should call the static IsElementDefined method to verify whether the current visual style provides a definition for the element specified by the element parameter.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement) constructor to create a VisualStyleRenderer. This code example is part of a larger code 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;
}
