System.Windows.Forms 2.0.0.0 System.Object The class identifies a Windows control or user interface (UI) element that is defined by the current visual style of the operating system. A visual style element is defined in terms of class, part, and state: The class identifies a group of related visual style elements that are typically drawn together. The class is specified by the property. The part defines a discrete member of a class. The part is specified by the property. The state describes the current visual state of the element defined by the class and part. The state is specified by the property. The namespace exposes hundreds of objects that represent the controls and user interface elements that can be defined by a visual style. These objects are exposed as static properties of nested classes of . For each property, the qualified name of the owning class represents the class and the part of the drawn element, and the property name represents the state of the element. For example, the property returns a that can be used to draw a button in the pressed state with visual styles. The Pressed property name corresponds to the state, PushButton corresponds to the part, and Button identifies the class of the visual style element. To draw a visual style element, create a , set it to the you wish to draw, and then call the method. To determine whether the current visual style provides a definition for a particular element, call the method with the element as the argument. and wrap the functionality of the visual styles API from the Windows Shell portion of the Windows Platform SDK.
