SelectedAppearance Property (UltraListViewItemSettings)

Gets/sets the appearance that is applied to an UltraListViewItem when it is selected.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property SelectedAppearance As Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase

C#

public Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase SelectedAppearance {get; set;}

Remarks

The UltraListViewItem and UltraListViewSubItem classes each expose an Appearance property, which determines the visual appearance for that particular item or sub-item.

Example

The following code sample demonstrates how to handle the UltraListView's ItemSelectionChanging event to prevent items in different groups from being selected, and also how to handle the ItemSelectionChanged event to change the appearance for selected items based on whether multiple items are selected:

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
