How to alter the height of the WindockManager caption area
posted

Hi,

I want to increase the height of the caption area of the UltraDockManager. I tried with all the properties

 available but in vain. Also I want to change the background/foreground colors of the caption area.

But change is not reflecting.

Can any one tell me how i can achieve this ?

 

Thanks in Advance

Panna

    Hello Panna,

    For increasing the height of the caption area of the UltraDockManager you can use following code snippet:

     dockManager.ImageSizeCaption = new Size(40, 40);

    For changing the colors you may try something like the following code:

                dockManager.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveCaptionAppearance.BackColor = Color.Red;
                dockManager.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveCaptionAppearance.BackColor2 = Color.RoyalBlue;
                dockManager.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveCaptionAppearance.ForeColor = Color.Yellow;
                dockManager.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveCaptionAppearance.BackGradientStyle = GradientStyle.Horizontal;
    You also need to change the window style of your dockManager because some themes override your colors.

     dockManager.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.VisualStudio2008;
