Background Property

Description

Gets or sets a MarkupBrush that is used to fill the background of the content area.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Background() As [MarkupBrush](XtremeMarkup~MarkupBrush.md)

Return Type

The MarkupBrush used to fill the background of the content area. Default is Nothing (No Background).

Remarks

The CreateSolidBrush method is used to create a solid color brush to paint the background for a text element.

For example:

Hyperlink1.Background = Context.CreateSolidBrush(vbYellow)

Note that CreateSolidBrush creates a MarkupSolidColorBrush object that stores the color value. A value of Nothing sets the background to Transparent.

To retrieve the current color, use the MarkupSolidColorBrush.Color property.
