Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property SelectionColor As Color

public Color SelectionColor { get; set; }

public:
property Color SelectionColor {
    Color get ();
    void set (Color value);
}

member SelectionColor : Color with get, set

function get SelectionColor () : Color 
function set SelectionColor (value : Color)

Property Value

Type: System.Drawing.Color
The color to use. The default is Highlight.

Remarks

The SelectionColor is applied only when a DataRepeaterItem has focus. When a control in the item has focus, the item header color will be the same as the BackColor.

Note

If you set the SelectionColor to White, the selection symbol is not visible when the item is selected.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to change the selection color in response to a change in layout.

Private Sub DataRepeater1_LayoutStyleChanged(
    ) Handles DataRepeater1.LayoutStyleChanged

    ' Set the SelectionColor based on orientation. 
    If DataRepeater1.LayoutStyle = 
       PowerPacks.DataRepeaterLayoutStyles.Vertical Then

        DataRepeater1.SelectionColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
    Else
        DataRepeater1.SelectionColor = Drawing.Color.Red
    End If 
End Sub

private void dataRepeater1_LayoutStyleChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Set the SelectionColor based on orientation. 
    if (dataRepeater1.LayoutStyle == DataRepeaterLayoutStyles.Vertical)
    {
        dataRepeater1.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
    }
    else
    {
        dataRepeater1.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    }
}
