Hi,

How can I force the theme programatically to always be say, the Whidbey
theme?

Tech Tip: ReportBuilder Themes
-------------------------------------

ReportBuilder 10 introduces support for Themes (Skins). There are a couple
of options for specifying which theme is used.


1. Report Designer

From the Report Designer select View | Themes from the main menu and then
select the theme that you would like to use. The specified theme will be
stored in RBuilder.ini and used as the default theme the next time you run
RB.


2. RBuilder.ini.

When deploying an application, you can deploy RBuilder.ini so that
ReportBuilder will use a specific theme.


3. TppThemeManager

At run-time TppThemeManager can be used to programmatically use specify a
theme.

TppThemeManager is defined in ppToolbarTBX.pas. Here are the public class
methods.

TppThemeManager = class
public
class function GetCurrentThemeName: String;
class procedure GetThemeNames(aThemeNames: TStrings);
class procedure SavePreferences;
class procedure SetCurrentTheme(aThemeName: String);
end;


Example:

uses
ppToolbarTBX;


TppThemeManager.SetCurrentTheme(Office2003');

Nard,

Thanks very much.

Are there any other themes available/coming such as those for Office 2007?

This page contains a list of available themes, I do not see any newer
releases. The architecture is open for anyone to create themes, therefore I
expect to see newer themes coming out in the future.
