Remarks

The color specified by the BackColor property is used to paint the control’s background if the OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor property is set to true.

If you need a form’s background image to be seen through the LayoutControl which is positioned on this form do the following:

1. assign the image to the form’s BackgroundImage property;
2. set the LayoutControl’s BackColor property to the transparent or a semi-transparent color;
3. set the OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor property to true.

Note

The BackColor and OptionsView.EnableTransparentBackColor are not supported if the LayoutControl is painted using a skin. See the LayoutControl.LookAndFeel property to change the painting scheme.
