Property Value

Type Default Description
DefaultBoolean **Default**

A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether the current BackstageViewItem‘s icon should be painted with the BackstageViewItem foreground color.

Available values:

Name Description
True

Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.

False

Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.

Default

The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

If the AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.False , the BackstageViewItem‘s glyph is drawn as it is. Otherwise, if the AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.True, an icon receives a specific color hue, depending on the BackstageViewItem‘s fore color.

For best visual results, use gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for those items whose AllowGlyphSkinning property equals true.

To specify global settings common to all BackstageViewItems within a BackstageViewControl, use the BackstageViewControl.AllowGlyphSkinning property. This global setting is used for all BackstageViewItems whose AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.Default.
