Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumeration member which specifies whether a focus frame is displayed around the selected page header.

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

If this property is set to the ‘Default’ value a focus frame is displayed around the selected page header only if the tab control is painted in the standard style (its XtraTabControl.PaintStyleName property is set to the ‘Standard’ value).

If it’s set to ‘True’ a focus rectangle is always displayed around the selected page header, as shown in the image below.

If it’s set to ‘False’, the focus rectangle is never displayed.
