Property Value

Type Default Description
DefaultBoolean Default

A DefaultBoolean enumerator value specifying whether or not icons for all XtraMdiTabPages within the XtraTabbedMdiManager should be painted with the same color as the page header text.

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 AllowGlyphSkinning property enables or disables the Glyph Skinning feature for the entire XtraTabbedMdiManager (disabled by default). If this feature is enabled, icons for all XtraMdiTabPages are painted in the color hue specified by the page foreground colors. The XtraMdiTabPage.AllowGlyphSkinning property overrides the global setting for individual pages.

For best visual results, we recommend the gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for all XtraMdiTabPages, when using the Glyph Skinning feature.

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