What setting do I use to set the colors of a GroupControl from a skin?
Skinning a GroupControl
Answers
In most of our skins, the GroupControl does not use the BackGround color settings. All Common->GroupPanel~ elements have images that are used for drawing a border and background. Thus, if you wish to change the GroupControl background, it is necessary to change these images for all GroupPanel~ elements. You can find each GroupPanel~ element destination in the help tab of an item.
I am afraid that your question is not quite clear to me. Would you please clarify your goal? Do you wish to obtain GropControl settings from the skin, customize GroupControl color settings, or change skin settings used in GroupControl?
Really? I have a few DevExpress.XtraEditors.GroupControl objects in my solution. I want to change the background color using a skin. In the Skin Editor there is a GroupPanel under Common. I cannot find any setting there (or anywhere else) that sets the background color. If you set GroupPanel.BackColor it does come through to the object, but it doesn't paint it.
