Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.LayoutControl

Declaration

C#

public Style GroupBoxStyle { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property GroupBoxStyle As Style

Property Value

Type	Description
Style	A Style that is applied to the LayoutGroup when it’s visually represented as a GroupBox.

Remarks

Note

Target type: GroupBox. For more information on styles, see the Styling and Templating topic in MSDN.

When the LayoutGroup.View property is set to LayoutGroupView.GroupBox, a new GroupBox object is internally created. It’s used to visually represent the current LayoutGroup in this paint mode. The GroupBoxStyle style is applied to this GroupBox.

To simultaneously specify a common GroupBoxStyle for all groups within a LayoutControl, use the LayoutControl’s inherited GroupBoxStyle property. The control’s child groups will be painted according to the LayoutControl’s GroupBoxStyle style, provided that a group doesn’t override this style via its own GroupBoxStyle property.

Example

The following example shows how to customize the style of a LayoutGroup‘s header via the LayoutGroup.GroupBoxStyle property. In the example, the title is painted in blue over a light yellow background.

The following image shows the result:

XAML

<lc:LayoutGroup x:Name="myLayoutGroup" Orientation="Vertical" View="GroupBox" Header="Group 1" >
    <lc:LayoutGroup.GroupBoxStyle>
        <Style TargetType="lc:GroupBox">
            <Setter Property="TitleBackground" Value="LightYellow"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue"/>
        </Style>
    </lc:LayoutGroup.GroupBoxStyle>
