Do you know how to create a style?
To add a child filter it starts at page 39 (of bottom of page)
I followed these instructions and it works well. I have all four of my plants with a different tree side image.
Use Style Filter Management to create filters to use within a specific theme. You can create child style filters based on the original,
or parent, theme. These filters limit these child styles so that their styling is only used within a specific company, plant, language,
or program.
The style filter functionality supports many styling combinations for the same theme, as you can create a child style filter that is then
the child of another child style filter. This section also describes how you can create style filter combinations.
Launch Style Filter Manager
To launch this program:
1. From the Options menu, select
Styling.
2. Select the Style Filter Manager.
Create a Child Style Filter
To use Style Filter Management:
1. The filters available for the current
theme display in the Tree View.
2. If you want to create a new style filter
for a different theme, click the Load
button to find and select the .isl file
you want.
3. To create a child style filter, first
highlight the parent style you want on
the Tree View. In this example, the
Default style is selected.
4. Right-click your mouse to display
the context menu. Select the Create
Child Style command.
A (New) style filter displays on the Tree
View. Enter a StyleSetName for this
child style filter. In this example, you
enter Epicor Mfg - Chicago. The new
Name displays on the Tree View.
6. Select a FilterType. Available
options:
* Company
* Plant
* Language
* Application
* None
In this example, you select Company;
you can now create a child style filter
for a specific company within the
default theme.
7. Define what item is affected by
this filter. To do this, click the
FilterTypeSelect drop-down list.
Depending on the filter, different items
display. In this example, all the
companies within the application are
listed, so you select the Epicor Mfg -
Chicago option. When users switch to
this company, the interface displays
using this child style.
8. The FilterValue displays the name
that the application uses to identify the
selected item. In this example, the
company ID, VN30C, displays.
9. You can also define the EpiResources
that use this child style filter. If you
need, you could enter values in these
properties to limit this child style to
specific interface items, like panels, the
OK shape, and so on. In this example,
you leave these properties blank.
10. The EpiStyles section defines the
additional interface components that
use this style filter - like the Message
Box and the Navigation Control. If you
need, you can enter additional style values in these fields.
11. The Description area displays an explanation for the currently selected property. This text changes as different items
are selected.
12. You next must select the Create resources if missing check box. This indicates that you can create the main EpiResource for
this style filter.
13. Click Save.
14. The Save Style Library
window displays.
15. Select the parent theme inside
which you want to save your
child style filter. In
this example, you
select Office2007Calibri.isl.
16. Click Save.
Your child style filter is now saved
within the parent theme. Right
now, however, this filter does not
change anything. You next must
launch the Runtime Stylist to define
the styling you want for this child
style filter.
Modify Child Style Filter
To complete the child style filter:
1. Launch the Runtime Stylist (or Infragistics App Styler).
2. Click the Load button.
3. The Open Style Library
window displays.
4. Select the theme that contains
your child style filter. In this
example, you select the
Office2007Calibri.isl file.
5. Click Open.
When the Runtime Stylist
displays, click the Active
StyleSet drop-down list and
select Epicor Mfg - Chicago.
7. Create your child style.
Highlight an area of the
interface, and press the
corresponding key.
8. The Settings
window displays.
