The TextBoxExt provides the following themes for professional representation.

The themes can be applied by following these steps.

Load theme assembly

To set theme to TextBoxExt, the following assemblies should be added as reference in any application.

Assemblies	Themes

Before applying theme to TextBoxExt, required theme assembly should be loaded.

c#

using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms;

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        SkinManager.LoadAssembly(typeof(Syncfusion.WinForms.Themes.Office2016Theme).Assembly);
        SkinManager.LoadAssembly(typeof(Syncfusion.WinForms.Themes.Office2019Theme).Assembly);
        SkinManager.LoadAssembly(typeof(Syncfusion.HighContrastTheme.WinForms.HighContrastTheme).Assembly);

        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

vb

Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms
