ColorSet Property

Description

The ColorSet stores the colors used to paint the tabs. The default tab colors for each theme can be changed using the ColorSet property.

Property Type

Read-only property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property ColorSet() As [TabPaintManagerColorSet](XtremeCommandBars~TabPaintManagerColorSet.md)

Remarks

If CommandBars.TabWorkspace.AutoTheme = True, then the ColorSet of the TabWorkspace must be updated to override the default colorset for the currently used theme. If AutoTheme = False, then the ColorSet can be modified a single time, but the Color and Appearance properties will need to be set to achieve the desired look and feel that AutoTheme would have provided.

Example

'default colorset for the currently used theme. If AutoTheme = False, then the ColorSet can be modified a single time but 
'the Color and Appearance properties will need to be set to set the desired look and feel that AutoTheme would have provided.
