DevExpress MetroUI to WindowsUI

Question

Actually,I have developed my application in DevExpress MetroUIView.
Now I need to convert that into DevExpress WindowsUIView. I am using the version 12.2.4.
I tried to convert my project by DevExpress Project Converter tool, but this line is not getting converted:

public DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.MetroUIView MetroUIView1;

Is there any other option for converting from MetroUIView to WindowsUIView?

Answer 1

Please change the following lines (from FormXXX.Designer.cs):

private void InitializeComponent() {
//...
this.metroUIView1 = new DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.MetroUIView(this.components);
//...
}
public DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.MetroUIView metroUIView1;

to:

private void InitializeComponent() {
//...
this.metroUIView1 = new DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.WindowsUIView(this.components);
//...
}
public DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.WindowsUIView metroUIView1;

Then you can rename the metroUIView1 variable to windowsUIView1.

The DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI.MetroUIView class is defined in DevExpress.XtraBars.v12.2.dll only for compatibility reasons (you can press F12 key to see it's declaration from metadata):

namespace DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.WindowsUI {
    [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    [Browsable(false)]
    [Obsolete("You should use the WindowsUIView class")]
    public class MetroUIView : WindowsUIView {
        public MetroUIView();
        public MetroUIView(IContainer container);
    }
}
