CSS in a WinForm

[Tom Jenkins]

Is there any way to get the functionality of Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) in a win form application??

I am trying to get consistent look and feel in all of my
forms and have the ability to easily change the "look".

I am coding in c# with Visual Studio 7.1.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Create a master form, and inherit all your forms from it.
Put all the common styles in it.

How could I set (for example) font size on my buttons in
a master form??

You will have to reimplement/inherit the controls to get the custom
style. That's not easy to implement...

Tom,

I have a product that will do just that!!

It is called PerfectForm and is available at
www.dotnetpowertools.com

A tool is included for creating the "Style Document".
Any property on any control type can be set in this
document. The style document is the controller for all
of your forms: when you change the document, the forms'
appearance will change, without the need to recompile!
It if fully integrated into Visual Studio .net, and works
with vb.net, c# and managed c++.

A free evaluation version (with nag screens) is available.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
