Questions on Document Area
Hi how do I remove or change the style of the document area mdi client window so that the style matches the rest of the control. I can see from a previous recent answer how to change its background color by locating it as the MDIClient control, but that control doesn't let you set a borderstyle.
If I then add document windows to the above using the following snippets:
editControl1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
editControl2.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
dockingManager.SetDockLabel(editControl1, "Doc1");
dockingManager.SetDockLabel(editControl2, "Doc2");
dockingManager.LockDockPanelsUpdate();
dockingManager.SetWindowMode(editControl1, WindowMode.Document);
dockingManager.SetWindowMode(editControl2, WindowMode.Document);
dockingManager.UnlockDockPanelsUpdate();
along with
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.TabFont = new("Segoe UI", 12F, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.World);
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.TabForeColor = Color.FromArgb(64, 64, 64);
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.TabBackColor = Color.FromArgb(226, 226, 226);
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.ActiveTabForeColor = Color.WhiteSmoke;
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.ActiveTabBackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 108, 190);
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.TabPanelBackColor = Color.FromArgb(238, 238, 242);
dockingManager.DocumentWindowSettings.TabPanelBorderColor = Color.FromArgb(238, 238, 242);
and
dockingManager.TabGroupCreated += (sender, arg) =>
{
foreach (TabHost tab in arg.TabGroups)
{
tab.MDITabPanel.ShowCloseButtonForActiveTabOnly = true;
tab.MDITabPanel.CloseButtonForeColor = Color.WhiteSmoke;
tab.MDITabPanel.CloseButtonHoverForeColor = Color.Black;
tab.MDITabPanel.CloseButtonPressedForeColor = Color.Red;
}
};
I end up with the following screen shot
I would like to get a finer control of the underlying tab control so as to programmatically style it differently.
Also is there an easy way to remove the blue line in the image but still have the active tab header blue.
Many thanks
Steve
