How to make the GroupView control look like the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET folder selector list
Setting the following non-default properties will endow the GroupView control with the appearance and behavioral traits of the VS.NET folder selection list:
C#
this.groupView1.SmallImageView = false;
this.groupView1.ButtonView = true;
this.groupView1.FlatLook = true;
this.groupView1.BackColor = ControlPaint.Light(SystemColors.Control, 0.25f);
this.groupView1.ForeColor = SystemColors.ControlText;
this.groupView1.HighlightItemColor = Color.FromArgb(182,189,210);
this.groupView1.SelectingItemColor = Color.FromArgb(133,146,181);
this.groupView1.SelectingTextColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;
this.groupView1.SelectedItemColor = Color.FromArgb(212,213,216);
this.groupView1.SelectedHighlightItemColor = Color.FromArgb(133,146,181);
this.groupView1.SelectedHighlightTextColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;
this.groupView1.ImageSpacing = 5;
this.groupView1.ItemXSpacing = 8;
this.groupView1.ItemYSpacing = 1;
this.groupView1.HighlightImage = true;
this.groupView1.HighlightText = true;
this.groupView1.TextWrap = true;
