Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether the current SimpleButton‘s icon should be painted with the button’s fore color.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

A SimpleButton icon can be painted in the same color as the SimpleButton.Text. To do so, set the AllowGlyphSkinning property to DefaultBoolean.True. This feature is called Glyph Skinning and allows you to build monochrome UIs for your applications. The figure below illustrates two buttons with the same icons and appearance settings. The left button’s AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.True.

If you build a monochrome UI and use the Glyph Skinning feature, we recommend the gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for the best visual results.

SimpleButtons are not the only controls that support this feature. See the Glyph Skinning topic for the complete control list.

The AllowGlyphSkinning property is equivalent to the ImageOptions.AllowGlyphSkinning property (see SimpleButton.ImageOptions).
