XPMenus BackgroundColor

[Jamie Hill]

I have just upgraded an application to version 2.0.5.1 of the Syncfusion controls. I have an issue where a line of code no longer works for me, and I cannot find the correct new code. Your knowledge base item below shows that this should still be correct, but I am getting an error that "MenuColors is not a member of XPMenus". Can you tell me the code I should be using to set the background color of my menu?

''Set the color of the Menu bar to the color of the form
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.MenuColors.MainMenuBackColor = Me.BackColor

Thanks,

JH

Q10144 - Info: How do I change the default colors of the main-menu, dropdown menus, toolbars, etc.?

There is a Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.MenuColors class that includes some static properties that you can change to get a custom BG color for the different portions of the menus and toolbars. For example: MainMenuBackColor, CommandBarBackColor and StatusBarBackColor.

Hi JH

We made some changes to the API and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kindly take a look at the XPMenus sample(Tools\samples\Menus Package\XPMenusMDI). Refer to the CustomColorItem_Click() handler. Here is a snippet from the code for the handler:
MenuColors.MenuBGColor = Color.FromArgb(251, 249, 243)
MenuColors.DropDownBorderColor = Color.FromArgb(158, 133, 56)
MenuColors.CheckedSelColor = Color.FromArgb(247, 243, 229)
MenuColors.MenuLeftStripColor = Color.FromArgb(234, 222, 187)
MenuColors.PressedSelColor = Color.FromArgb(220, 204, 158)
MenuColors.SelBorderColor = Color.FromArgb(194, 163, 69)
MenuColors.SelColor = Color.FromArgb(253, 252, 248)
MenuColors.CommandBarBackColor = Color.FromArgb(234, 222, 187)
