[Visual Basic] Public Property BackgroundHatchStyle As HatchStyle
[C#] public HatchStyle BackgroundHatchStyle {get; set;}
Property Value
Any value provided by the System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle class.
Overridable Layout-file
Property of AnimationTT ImageTT SingleLineTT MultiLineTT Description
This value defines the hatch-pattern used to fill the tooltip background. It is only significant for layouts where Background=Hatch.The background color for the hatch pattern is defined by the BackColor-property, while the foreground color is specified by the BackgroundHatchColor-property. The following table shows a list of all available hatch-styles:
If specified at the component-level for a tooltip component (i.e. by defining the BackgroundHatchStyle directly for the component), the assigned hatch-style will become the default BackgroundHatchStyle for the tooltips of all controls on the same form:
'Assign a new background hatch pattern
'to the tooltip component
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1) _
.BackgroundHatchStyle = HatchStyle.Wave
This default BackgroundHatchStyle can be overridden for each control through the Override-property provided to all controls on the same form by the tooltip component (see "The Override-Property").
If the override-value for the BackgroundHatchStyle has to be set or changed at runtime for the tooltip of a specific control, code like the following is needed:
'Assign a new background hatch pattern
'to the override-object for Panel1
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).Override _
.BackgroundOverride.BackgroundHatchStyle = HatchStyle.Percent25
Example 1
This statements define a hatched background at the component level. A hatch pattern is selected and the background and foreground colors for the hatch pattern are defined:
'define a hatched background for the tooltips provided by the component (MultiLine).
Me.MultiLine.Background = BackgroundStyle.Hatch
'define the background color for the hatch-pattern...
Me.MultiLine.BackColor = Color.Transparent
'...and it's foreground color.
Me.MultiLine.BackgroundHatchColor = Color.Blue
'select the hatch-pattern
Me.MultiLine.BackgroundHatchStyle = Drawing2D.HatchStyle.Percent50
