Summary
How can I increase the text size in property grid and/or the colors in the status bar of the vdFramed control?
Solution
You can change the text size of the property grid it like:
vdPropertyGrid.vdPropertyGrid MyGridOnForm = vdFramedControl1.vdGrid; // here you need to set the vdGrid in your form MyGridOnForm.Grid.LargeButtons = true; // if you also need larger buttons Font fnt = MyGridOnForm.Grid.Font; float size = fnt.Size; float newSize = (float)(fnt.Size * 2.5); MyGridOnForm.Grid.Font = new Font(fnt.Name, newSize); fnt = MyGridOnForm.Controls[0].Font; float oldsize = fnt.Size; MyGridOnForm.Controls[0].Font = new Font(fnt.Name, newSize); MyGridOnForm.Grid.Height = MyGridOnForm.Grid.Height - (int)(newSize );The colors of the status bar can be changed like:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (vdFramedControl1.Controls[1] != null && vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0] != null && vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0].BackColor != null)
{
vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0].BackColor = Color.DimGray;
}
if (vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0] !=null && vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0] is System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip)
{
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip VDFstrip1 = vdFramedControl1.Controls[1].Controls[0] as ToolStrip;
foreach (var item in VDFstrip1.Items)
{
if (item is System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSplitButton)
{
((ToolStripSplitButton)item).ForeColor = Color.LightGreen;
}
if (item is System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripButton)
{
((ToolStripButton)item).ForeColor = Color.Yellow;
}
if (item is System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripLabel)
{
((ToolStripLabel)item).ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
if (item is System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripProgressBar)
{
//cannot change color
}
}
}
}
