public virtual bool AllowBorderColorBlending { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boolean | false | true, to apply a custom color to the group control’s border and caption background in skinning paint schemes; otherwise, false. |
Remarks
Use the GroupControl.AppearanceCaption.BorderColor property (accessible from GroupControl.AppearanceCaption) to customize the control’s caption and border color.
Starting from version 18.2, the AllowBorderColorBlending property is ignored by default. You do not need to enable this option to change the control’s caption and border color.
The GroupControl takes the AllowBorderColorBlending property into account in the following cases:
- WindowsFormsSettings.BackgroundSkinningMode setting is set to Legacy
- WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultSettingsCompatibilityMode property is set to version “v18_1” or earlier.
In these cases, the AllowBorderColorBlending property functions as follows. When the property equals false, the control’s caption and border are colored based on the currently applied skin. Set the AllowBorderColorBlending property to true to enable card caption/border color customization (using the GroupControl.AppearanceCaption.BorderColor property).
