OnProvideGraphicsItems override not working

[Mario]

I would like to change the title color of a docked window controlled by a DockingManager.

I have written the below code to achieve the goal but it does not work. The titles of all docked windows are still using the default colors. The override does not seem to get called.

What am I missing?

----------------

public class DockingManager : Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockingManager
{
protected override void OnProvideGraphicsItems(ProvideGraphicsItemsEventArgs arg)
{
arg.CaptionBackground = new LinearGradientBrush(arg.CaptionBounds,
Color.White, Color.Red, LinearGradientMode.Vertical);

base.OnProvideGraphicsItems(arg);
}

}

Hi Mario,

To change the title color of the Docked control window, you could handle the DockingManager.ProvideGraphicsItems event.No need to customize the DockingManager.ProviderGraphicsItems event.

I have attached the sample,please go through that,let me know you need further assistance.

Thanks, it works.

However, it would be MUCH easier, if appearance could be controlled by setting properties without forcing me to find the correct event in case the only thing I want is to change a controls color :-(
