Property Value

Type	Description
AppearanceObject	A AppearanceObject object providing style settings to paint status bars.

Remarks

You can use the StatusBar property to specify default style settings for status bars. Each bar also provides the Bar.Appearance property, that allows you to override the default settings for this bar. 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.

It is possible to specify default common style settings for all bars (including main menus and status bars). For this purpose, use the BarManagerAppearances.Bar property. The StatusBar property settings, if used (i.e. if corresponding flags are not cleared), will override the BarManagerAppearances.Bar‘s settings.

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

Appearance Option	Office 2000	Office 2003	Windows XP	Skinning Painting Scheme
BackColor	+	+	-	-
BackColor2 and GradientMode	+	-	-	-
Image	+	-	-	-
Font and ForeColor	+	+	+	+

The BorderColor property is ignored in all painting schemes.
