Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true if all XtraTabPage icons within the current XtraTabControl should be painted in the pages’ foreground colors; otherwise, false.

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

The XtraTabPage.AllowGlyphSkinning property specifies whether, for an individual XtraTabPage, its icon should be painted with the same color as its header text. This property overrides the AllowGlyphSkinning property, which specifies the same color for the entire XtraTabControl. The image below illustrates the XtraTabControl with two pages that have the same icon. The second page is painted with the Glyph Skinning feature.

XtraTabPage foreground colors can be customized via the corresponding property in the PageAppearance.Header object.

For best visual results, we recommend the gray-scaled icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for all elements, painted using the Glyph Skinning feature.

XtraTabControl is not the only control that supports this feature. See the Glyph Skinning topic for the complete control list.
