4 mins read

 

Setting the following non-default properties will make the GroupView control similar in appearance and behavior to the Windows XP TaskBar List:

C#

this.groupView1.SmallImageView = true;

this.groupView1.BackColor = ControlPaint.LightLight(System.Drawing.Color.LightSteelBlue);

this.groupView1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.RoyalBlue;

this.groupView1.HighlightTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;

this.groupView1.SelectingTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;

this.groupView1.SelectedTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;

this.groupView1.SelectedHighlightTextColor = System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue;

this.groupView1.ImageSpacing = 2;

this.groupView1.ItemXSpacing = 8;

this.groupView1.ItemYSpacing = 5;

this.groupView1.HighlightImage = false;

this.groupView1.HighlightText = false;

this.groupView1.TextUnderline = true;

this.groupView1.TextWrap = true;

VB

Me.groupView1.SmallImageView = True

Me.groupView1.BackColor = ControlPaint.LightLight(System.Drawing.Color.LightSteelBlue)
