property Rollist.Background(Part as BackgroundPartEnum) as Color
Returns or sets a value that indicates the background color for parts in the control.

TypeDescription
Part as BackgroundPartEnum A BackgroundPartEnum expression that indicates a part in the control.
Color A Color expression that indicates the background color for a specified part. The last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color to indicates the identifier of the skin being used. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color being applied to the background's part.
The Background property specifies a background color or a visual appearance for specific parts in the control. If the Background property is 0, the control draws the part as default. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. Use the Remove method to remove a specific skin from the control. Use the Clear method to remove all skins in the control. Use the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods to maintain performance while init the control.

The following VB sample changes the visual appearance for the selected item. The Background(exSelectNode) property indicates the selection background color. Shortly, we need to add a skin to the Appearance object using the Add method, and we need to set the last 7 bits in the Background property to indicates the index of the skin that we want to use. The sample applies the "" to the selected item:

With Rollist1
    With .VisualAppearance
        .Add &H22, App.Path + "\select.ebn"
    End With
    .SelBackColor = RGB(0,0,255) Or &H22000000
End With

The following C++ sample changes the visual appearance for the selected item:

#include "Appearance.h"
m_xmlgrid.GetVisualAppearance().Add( 0x22, COleVariant(_T("D:\\Temp\\ExRollist.Help\\select.ebn")) );
m_xmlgrid.SetSelBackColor( RGB(0,0,255) | 0x22000000 );

The following VB.NET sample changes the visual appearance for the selected item:

With AxRollist1
    With .VisualAppearance
        .Add(&H22, "D:\Temp\ExRollist.Help\select.ebn")
    End With
    .Template = "SelBackColor = 587137024"
End With

where the 587137024 value is the hexa representation of 0x22FF0000

The following C# sample changes the visual appearance for the selected item:

axRollist1.VisualAppearance.Add(0x22, "d:\\temp\\ExRollist.Help\\select.ebn");
axRollist1.Template = "SelBackColor = 587137024";

where the 587137024 value is the hexa representation of 0x22FF0000.

The following VFP sample changes the visual appearance for the selected item:

With thisform.Rollist1
    With .VisualAppearance
        .Add(34, "D:\Temp\ExRollist.Help\select.ebn")
    EndWith
    .SelBackColor = RGB(0,0,255) + 570425344
EndWith
