  • RowPreviewCustomDrawEventArgs.Appearance Property

    Gets the painted element’s appearance settings.

    Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

    Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Grid, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

    Declaration

    public override AppearanceObject Appearance { get; }

    Property Value

    Type Description
    AppearanceObject

    A AppearanceObject object specifying the painted element’s appearance settings.

    Remarks

    Use the Appearance property in the following ways:

    • Read the Appearance property’s attributes to custom paint the preview section using the default settings. Set the e.Handled property to true to prevent the default painting mechanism from clearing your paintings.
    • Customize specific attributes of the Appearance property (e.g., background and foreground colors, gradient mode, font, text alignment), and leave the e.Handled property set to false. This forces the View to paint the element with the default painting mechanism, but with the modified style/appearance settings.
