How to customize the appearance of the WinForms GroupBar?
Visual styles
The appearance of the GroupBar control can be customized by using the property, VisualStyle. The following code example demonstrates the same.
C#
//Sets the visual style. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.VisualStyle.Metro; //Displays the GroupBar with flat look. this.groupBar1.FlatLook = true; //Sets the Fore color. this.groupBar1.ForeColor = Color.White; //Sets the back color. this.groupBar1.BackColor = Color.LightGray; //Sets the border style. this.groupBar1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle; //Sets the border color. this.groupBar1.BorderColor = Color.White; //Sets the default visual style. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Default; //Sets the Visual style as OffcieXP. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.OfficeXP; //Sets the Visual style as Office2003. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Office2003; //Sets the Visual style as VS2005. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.VS2005; //Sets the Visual style as Office2007. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Office2007; //Sets the Visual style as Office2010. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Office2010; //Sets the Visual style as VS2010. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.VS2010; //Sets the Visual style as Metro. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Metro; //Sets the Visual style as Office2007Outlook. this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = VisualStyle.Office2007Outlook;
VB
