The LayoutControl supports the hierarchical structure of appearances. The appearance settings applied to layout groups are propagated to their layout items and nested groups. If appearance settings are applied to specific layout items/groups, they override the appearances of parent groups. Please refer to the Appearances topic for information on the appearance mechanism.
The PaintAppearanceGroup property returns the actual appearance settings that are currently used for layout group painting. These are the result of a combination of appearance settings of the current layout group and its parent groups.
To set appearance settings, use the properties provided by the layout control, layout items and groups: BaseLayoutItem.AppearanceItemCaption, LayoutItemContainer.AppearanceGroup, LayoutItemContainer.AppearanceTabPage and LayoutControl.Appearance.
