How to change the font color in RadRibbonBarGroup (WinForms) with code?

[Kerry]

I searched and searched and this answer was answered back in 2023 but not from a code perspective.

How do I change the font fore color (via code) for the group caption? CaptionFill is for the backcolor. Got it. I have spent hours trying to find it in this website and searching. Why does Telerik make things so difficult?

You can use the following code snippet to change the font color in the RadRibbonBarGroup with code:

    Dim textElement As TextPrimitive = TryCast((TryCast(Me.radRibbonBarGroup1.CaptionFill.Children(0), DockLayoutPanel)).Children(1), TextPrimitive)
    textElement.ForeColor = Color.Red
