Hi Bryan,
You would have to get hold of the BarControl of the CommandBarExt object associated with the XPMenus.Bar, and then handle its Paint event (as shown below) for this purpose :
// Get the CommandBarExt
CommandBarExt cmdbarext = this.mainFrameBarManager1.GetBarControl(this.bar1) as CommandBarExt;
// Get the CommandBarExt''s BarControl and subscribe to its Paint event
cmdbarext.BarControl.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(BarControl_Paint);
// CommandBarExt.BarControl''s Paint event handler
private void BarControl_Paint (object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
CommandBarExt cmdbarext = this.mainFrameBarManager1.GetBarControl(this.bar1) as CommandBarExt;
Rectangle rec1 = cmdbarext.ClientRectangle;
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(rec1, Color.Yellow, Color.Red, 30);
g.FillRectangle(brush, rec1);
}
I have attached a
complete sample that illustrates this here. Please refer to it and let me know if this meets your requirements. We appreciate your patience and thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.
