Use of the SkinID Property of Containers
In the code of MYOB Acumatica, predefined skins are used to assign a style and a set of toolbar buttons to a container. The SkinID property of a container specifies which of these skins the system should apply to the container. A skin is specific to a particular container; you cannot share a skin setting between containers of different types. If you do not set the SkinID property, the container uses the default skin, if one is defined.
