Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v19.2.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DevExpress.XtraBars.BarItemAppearances | A BarItemAppearances object that contains corresponding appearance options. |
Remarks
BarAndDockingControllers allow you to define default appearance settings for bar item links within multiple Bars and RibbonControls within single or multiple forms. This can be achieved via the BarAndDockingController.AppearancesBar and BarAndDockingController.AppearancesRibbon objects. See Appearance and Look and Feel to learn more.
The Bar.BarAppearance property allows you to override the default appearance settings for individual bars. To customize appearance settings for individual bar item links, use the ItemAppearance property. When a BarItem is displayed within a sub-menu, its BarItem.ItemInMenuAppearance settings are used instead.
Only the Font and ForeColor properties are in effect in skinning paint schemes. Changing the background color of bar items is in effect only in the following paint schemes: Flat, UltraFlat, Style3D, OfficeXP and Office2000. Use the BarAndDockingController.PaintStyleName and BarAndDockingController.LookAndFeel properties to change the current paint scheme.
Note
In a RibbonControl, changing an item’s font size via the ItemAppearance property does not change the item’s height. However, you can change the height of all items in the RibbonControl using a BarAndDockingController object (for instance, using the DefaultBarAndDockingController component). To change item height, use the Item.Font, ItemHovered.Font and ItemPressed.Font properties of the BarAndDockingController.AppearancesRibbon object.
