Devexpress winforms control rendermode

I was wondering how to set the RenderMode property of devexpress barmanager menubar control. I always see that when I use Windows XP style for default look and feel the menubar is always using ManagedRenderMode but I would like it to use System render mode. I using DevExpress library 9.2.9.0

  • Not sure if this helps but but please check out this ticket number Q237247 at the support center

    All DX controls uses a LookAndFeel system to support skinning. http://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument2534

    You can disable the skins and enable Flat views and using XPTheme etc via the LookAndFeel property, this can be controlled globally via the DefaultLookAndFeel component available in your toolbox as well, please review http://documentation.devexpress.com/#WindowsForms/CustomDocument2409

    Hope this helps
