Hello,
I was wondering how to do the following on a DateTimePicker, if it is possible at all: apply one theme to the main control and another to its calendar.
Something like this:
RadDateTimePicker1.ThemeName = A
Dim calendarBehavior As RadDateTimePickerCalendar = TryCast(RadDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.GetCurrentBehavior(), RadDateTimePickerCalendar)
Dim calendar As RadCalendar = TryCast(calendarBehavior.Calendar, RadCalendar)
calendar.ThemeName = B3 Answers, 1 is accepted

By using the RadThemeManager, load your themes files into it and after that you can set different themes to your Rad controls via their ThemeName property.

I want to apply different themes to the same control. Specifically I'm thinking about the DateTimePicker, I want to apply one theme to the edit box and a different theme to the popup with the calendar.
At the moment I can only think of doing this by creating a custom theme that merges the two I want to use, but I would prefer to avoid doing that.
Hello, Armand,
The theme that is set through ApplicationThemeName property of ThemeResolutionService is with higher priority than the locally set themes to controls/dialogs. However, you can disable the globally set theme to a specific control and apply a different theme. You can set the control's ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName property to false and set the control's ThemeName to the desired theme explicitly for each control:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/styling-and-appearance/using-a-default-theme-for-the-entire-application#enabledisable-the-globally-set-theme-for-a-specific-control
I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference:
ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "CrystalDark";
RadDateTimePickerCalendar calendarBehavior = this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.GetCurrentBehavior() as RadDateTimePickerCalendar;
RadCalendar calendar = calendarBehavior.Calendar as RadCalendar;
calendar.ElementTree.EnableApplicationThemeName = false;
calendar.ThemeName = "Crystal";I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
