DevExpress Breaking Changes List for version v12.2:

BC1766: The Metro term has been replaced with WindowsUI in code namespaces and class names.

Because new branding guidelines for Windows 8 have been provided, the use of the name "Metro" is no longer recommended.

This change affected the following classes:

MetroUIView
MetroUIViewInfo
MetroUIViewHitInfo
MetroUIViewPainter
MetroUIViewController
MetroUIViewCommand

This change affected the following namespaces:

DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views.MetroUI
DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Dragging.MetroUI

In other words: The WindowsUI(v12.2) is a next version of MetroUI(v12.1) - you would just replace the MetroUI in your code with WindowsUI. You can easily perform this operation automatically using the Project Converter tool, available within the DXperience installation

From what I just saw in their forums they were making MetroUI obsolete in favor of WindowsUI. I have no experience with these, but I can guess 3 possible solutions:

  • Keep using the older version
  • Update to WindowsUI, which might just be renamed MetroUI, so you would just need to search/replace MetroUI to WindowsUI in your code
  • If WindowsUI is significantly different than MetroUI - modify your code to use the new controls.
