Color | A color expression that indicates the background color of the group's caption. The last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color to indicates the identifier of the skin being used. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color being applied to the background's part |
Use the BackColor property to specify the group's caption's background color. Use the BackColorList property to specify the background color for group's list. Use the BackColorGroup property to specify a default background color for groups. Use the <bgcolor> built in HTML tag in the Caption property to define portions of text using a specified background color. The BackgroundExt property provides unlimited options to display more colors, icons, HTML, pictures, frames to any group.
In VB.NET or C# you require the following functions until the .NET framework will provide:
Shared Function ToUInt32(ByVal c As Color) As UInt32 Dim i As Long i = c.R i = i + 256 * c.G i = i + 256 * 256 * c.B ToUInt32 = Convert.ToUInt32(i) End Function
private UInt32 ToUInt32(Color c) { long i; i = c.R; i = i + 256 * c.G; i = i + 256 * 256 * c.B; return Convert.ToUInt32(i); }
The following VB sample changes the group's background color:
With ExplorerBar1.Groups(0) .BackColor = vbBlue End With
The following C++ sample changes the group's background color:
m_explorerbar.GetGroups().GetItem( COleVariant( long(0) ) ).SetBackColor( RGB(0,0,255) ) ;
The following VB.NET sample changes the group's background color:
With AxExplorerBar1.Groups(0) .BackColor = ToUInt32(Color.Blue) End With
The following C# sample changes the group's background color:
axExplorerBar1.Groups[0].BackColor = ToUInt32(Color.Blue);
The following VFP sample changes the group's background color:
With thisform.ExplorerBar1.Groups(0) .BackColor = RGB(0,0,255) EndWith
