HotTrackAppearance Property (SettingsBase)

Returns a Boolean value determining or sets the appearance of a tool that has the mouse over it.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property HotTrackAppearance As Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase
public Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase HotTrackAppearance {get; set;}
Remarks

The Appearance property of an object is used to associate the object with an Appearance object that will determine its appearance. The Appearance object has properties that control settings such as color, borders, font, transparency, etc. For many of the objects in UltraWinToolbars, you do not set formatting properties directly. Instead, you set the properties of an Appearance object, which controls the formatting of the object it is attached to.

Note that the properties of an Appearance object can also operate in a hierarchical fashion. Certain properties can be set to a "use default" value, which indicates to the control that the property should take its setting from the object's parent. This functionality is enabled by default, so that unless you specify otherwise, child objects resemble their parents, and formatting set at higher levels of the control hierarchy is inherited by objects lower in the hierarchy.

Example
The following code demonstrates how to setup default appearance values for ALL toolbars and then override some of those values for a specific toolbar.

Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars

	Private Sub Button20_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button20.Click
