Remarks

You can use HTML tags to format ContextItem text. The code below demonstrates how to change a ContextButton‘s caption color.

C#

using DevExpress.Utils;
// ...
pictureEdit1.Properties.ContextButtonOptions.AllowHtmlText = true;
((ContextButton)pictureEdit1.Properties.ContextButtons[0]).Caption = "<color=red>Select</color>";

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Utils
' ...
pictureEdit1.Properties.ContextButtonOptions.AllowHtmlText = True
CType(pictureEdit1.Properties.ContextButtons(0), ContextButton).Caption = "<color=red>Select</color>"

The image below demonstrates the result.

Alternatively, you can set AllowHtmlText to true in the Properties window.

Then click the ContextButtons ellipsis button to open the Collection Editor.

Specify the ContextButton‘s caption text and formatting.
