If the current appearance object has no parent, the AppearanceObject.BorderColor property value is used regardless of the UseBorderColor property setting. Please refer to the Appearance Inheritance Options topic for details.
Note
When an AppearanceObject's style setting (e.g., BackColor, ForeColor, Font and TextOptions.HAlignment) is set to a non-default value, the corresponding Use... option (e.g., Options.UseBackColor, Options.UseForeColor, Options.UseFont and Options.UseTextOptions) is automatically set to true. This happens only in the following cases:
- The AppearanceObject belongs to a control/component (or its element), and this control/component has been completely loaded (see the control's IsLoading property to check the load status).
- The AppearanceObject belongs to a grid column/band or tree list column/band, and the column/band belongs to a grid/tree list control.
- The AppearanceObject is standalone, i.e., it does not belong to any control or component.
