SVG images in RichTextPropertyEditor

UPDATED:
With v18.2, the ForcePngIcons option is no longer required. Use the ImageLoader.Instance.UseSvgImages property instead.
----------------------------
We've temporarily disabled SVG icons in RichTextPropertyEditor (a part of the new Office module in v18.1.3) in an XAF app until we redraw all default PNG images (by the end of 2018). Our designers aimed to avoid bad UX after mixing PNG and SVG images within one screen. For instance, the merged main and RichEditControl's menus may look inconsistent. Different images in independent UI contexts are acceptable, e.g., SVG in a separate report designer and PNG in the main form.

To force SVG images in v18.1, set the static DevExpress.ExpressApp.Office.Win.OfficeWindowsFormsModule.ForcePngIcons property to False in the Main method of the YourSolutionName.Win/Program.xx file (available in v18.1.3+).



To check our progress with regard to SVG icons support for WinForms and to help future development by answering questions from our team or sharing early feedback, please visit this knowledge base article.

Update on WinForms SVG Images Support in v18.1

Please do not miss our recent update in the WinForms SVG Images Support - Preview in v18.1 KB article:

We've extended the number of scenarios where SVG images are now correctly shown in a WinForms XAF application with the following:
● SVG images used for SingleChoiceAction itself and its items shown in the bar and ribbon controls.


● SVG images used for SingleChoiceAction shown in the popup menu.



● SVG images used for ParametrizedAction shown in the bar and ribbon controls and in the popup menu.



● SVG images used for ParametrizedAction shown in ButtonsContainer on a detail view.



● SVG images used for nodes in TreeListEditor via the new DevExpress.Persistent.Base.General.ITreeNodeSvgImageProvider interface.



Your feedback is needed!
If you want to test this feature with your real world applications on a virtual machine (or another suitable test environment) prior to the official release, download the v18.1 preview build here: DevExpress XAF v18.1 Preview installer
