VB.NET

Public Overrides Property BackColor As Color

Property Value

Type	Description
Color	A Color object that represents the background color.

Remarks

The BackColor property specifies the background color to be set to a control’s XRControl.BackColor property when the current style is applied to it. Note that if the BackColor property’s value is not set for the current XRControlStyle object, its value is treated as empty. This means that when a style is applied to a control, the control’s BackColor property value isn’t changed. For more information on this concept, please refer to Report Visual Styles.

Note

The BackColor property is not applicable to all report controls. For example, the XRPageBreak class ignores the BackColor property.
