Use the Add method to add or replace skins to the control. The skin method, in it's simplest form, uses a single graphic file (*.ebn) assigned to a part of the control. By using a collection of objects laid over the graphic, it is possible to define which sections of the graphic will be used as borders, corners and other possible elements, fixing them to their proper position regardless of the size of the part.

The skin method may change the visual appearance for the following parts in the control:

• levels on the chart area, BackColor property, BackColorLevelHeader property
• bar's background, ItemBar(exBarBackColor) property
• control's header bar, BackColorHeader property
• control's filter bar, FilterBarBackColor property
• control's sort bar, BackColorSort property
• the caption of the control's sort bar, BackColorSortCaption property
• selected item or cell, SelBackColor property
• item, ItemBackColor property
• cell, CellBackColor property
• cell's button, "drop down" filter bar button, "close" filter bar button, and so on, Background property
• 'focus' box in the chart's overview area, OverviewSelBackColor property.
