Color Property

Description

Gets/sets the color of the tab and the color of the contextual tab caption when displayed.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Color() As [XTPRibbonTabContextColor](XtremeCommandBars~Enumerations~XTPRibbonTabContextColor_EN.md)

Remarks

The Color property indicates the color of the tab when active and the color of its ContextCaption when displayed. The picture below illustrates this:

Changing the color of a tab is usually done only if the tab is a contextual tab, meaning the tab is only displayed if a certain condition is met. For example, when you open a JPG file, you can then display some tabs specific to working with JPG files and also add a context tab caption for those tabs.

These colors can also be used just to specify the color of a tab on mouse over if no ContextCaption is added.

Note: To join the ContextCaption of two or more tabs as seen in the picture, the tabs must all be adjacent, have the same ContextCaption, and have the same Ribbon Tab Color.
