VB.NET

Public Property GroupBoxDisplayMode As GroupBoxDisplayMode

Property Value

Type	Description
GroupBoxDisplayMode	A GroupBoxDisplayMode enumerator value that specifies the display mode of the current LayoutGroup header.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	Equal to the GroupBoxDisplayMode.Normal value.
Normal	Container headers should be painted by default.
Light	Container headers should be painted more lightly.

Remarks

There are two display modes for the LayoutGroup header, when this group’s LayoutGroup.View property is set to LayoutGroupView.GroupBox.

• the GroupBoxDisplayMode.Light display mode specifies that the LayoutGroup should paint its header more lightly, without excessive highlighting (see the figure below);

  

• the GroupBoxDisplayMode.Normal display mode uses more intensive header highlighting for the current LayoutGroup (see the figure below);

  

The GroupBoxDisplayMode.Default value corresponds to the GroupBoxDisplayMode.Normal display mode.

Also, you can specify how the header is rendered by providing a template. To provide a template, use the LayoutGroup.HeaderTemplate property.
