changing color of groupbaritem

[Dudi]

Hi,
Is it possible to change the colors of the groupbaritems while using the office2003 visual style?
I'm using the 4.2 release.
thanks.

Hi Dudi,

You would have to derive the GroupBar class and override the DrawGroupBarItem method to customize the background color of the GroupBarItem in a GroupBar. Below are the codes:

public class MyGroupBar : GroupBar
{
public MyGroupBar(): base()
{}

protected override void DrawGroupBarItem(Graphics gfxTarget, int nindex, Rectangle rcbar)
{
base.DrawGroupBarItem(gfxTarget, nindex, rcbar);
gfxTarget.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Red), rcbar);
}
}


Best regards,
Haneef
