skinCategoryName

Type: String

Availability: Read or write at any time

The skinCategoryName property of the Window class contains the string name of the skin category. By default, the value of this property is null (""). Use this property to define each form and control with a skin category.

When an application skin is set, the window uses only a skin that matches the defined category. (For details about using skins to enhance your runtime applications, see Chapter 2 of the JADE Runtime Application Guide.)

As the linkage between the window and the skin category is deliberately flexible, you can replace or ignore skins (by calling the Window class ignoreSkin property) to meet your requirements.

See also JadeSkinControl::applyCondition, the JadeSkinWindow class mySkinCategory property, and the JadeSkinApplication class myFormSkins and myControlSkins properties, in Chapter 1.
