Remarks
Use the following API to customize the card caption and border color:
- for all cards - LayoutView.Appearance.CardCaption.BorderColor
- for the focused card - LayoutView.Appearance.FocusedCardCaption.BorderColor
- for individual cards - Handle the LayoutView.CustomCardStyle event and customize the e.Appearance.BorderColor event parameter.
Starting from version 18.2, the AllowBorderColorBlending property is ignored by default. You do not need to enable this option to change the card caption and border color.
The LayoutView 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 card 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 LayoutView.Appearance.CardCaption.BorderColor and LayoutView.Appearance.FocusedCardCaption.BorderColor properties, and the LayoutView.CustomCardStyle event).
