Okay, so I am new to the software and have tried to use a button in my c# WinForm application.

I can create and use the button just fine, but I want a custom look, so if I set the Background Fill to "Stock Gradient Fill" or anything else other than Automatic, I lose the hover over and click color changes.

I have looked everywhere to try and change this, but I can't locate it - what (basic) instruction am I missing?

I tried following some of the examples, and created a class file called MyFirstTheme - but how and where do I apply this to my project and is that what I actually have to do?

I want to set a theme/skin once and it then sets it for all the components added to my WinForm.

I am currently using Visual Studio 2017 Community, and after I installed NOV UI, I do not see what is shown in some of the instructions relating to creating projects (like creating a NOV Windows Form app) - did I install something incorrectly?

Lastly, I thought I would test the WinForm app on a Windows 2012 R2 Terminal Server and it crashes on loading, I am yet to dig into a little further, but is this compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2?

thanks.

Hi,

Nevron Project templates may be missing if you are using the free (Community) edition of Visual Studio or if an error has occurred while installing NOV and the templates were not properly installed. You can take a look at the Hosting NOV in Windows Forms for detailed instructions how to integrate NOV in an existing WinForms application.

If you are interested in any of the special NOV controls (diagram, chart, rich text editor, schedule, etc.) please drop us an e-mail and we will send you a sample WinForms application, so that you can start using NOV as quickly as possible.

Regarding the online examples, please use a browser that still supports Silverlight, for example Internet Explorer 11.

Best Regards,
Nevron Support Team
