Property Value

Type	Description
AppearanceObject	A AppearanceObject object providing style settings to paint dock controls.

Remarks

You can use the Dock property to specify default style settings for all dock controls. Each dock control also provides the BarDockControl.Appearance property, that allows you to override the default settings for this dock control. XtraBars employs special flags to indicate whether particular styles should be used. Flags are automatically set when assigning values to corresponding style properties. Flags can be cleared via the AppearanceObject.Options property.

The following table summarizes which appearance options provided by the Dock object are in effect in various painting schemes:

Appearance Option	Office 2000	Office 2003	Windows XP	Skinning Painting Scheme
BackColor	+	+	-	+
BackColor2	+	+	-	+
Image	+	-	-	-

The BorderColor, Font, ForeColor and GradientMode properties are ignored in all painting schemes.
