DockPanel.Image Transparency Color

[Phi]

I have a ShapedForm with about 8 DockPanels. I assigned images to all of them. The images look great in design mode. However, at runtime, the white background color on some of the images still showed. I could not find a way to set the Transparency color for them!

Hello Phi,

You can use the DefaultPresenter property of the DockPanel and cast it to the DockPresenterControl. Then change its Color or BackgroundImage. Keep in mind that when making some dock/redock/autohide operations the presenter may be created again.

Sorry I did not make it very clear about my problem. I was talking about the little image/icon that showed up on the DockPanel's tabstrip.

Is there a way to control the transparency color, image location, ect for the tabstrip of the DockPanel?

Thanks,

Phi

Hello Phi,

You can access and use the DockableTab property of the DockPanel object.

this.dockPanel1.DockableTab.Image

The DockableTab inherits from TabItem, where you can change other image-related properties.

I was hoping to be able to access this via the Designer but this would do as well.

In case someone else may have similar problem, here is the code I am using:

            if (this.dockPanel.DockableTab != null)
                this.dockPanel.DockableTab.ImagePrimitive.TransparentColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

Thanks,

Phi
