Examples

The following example demonstrates how to change the selection color in response to a change in layout.

private void dataRepeater1_LayoutStyleChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Set the SelectionColor based on orientation.
    if (dataRepeater1.LayoutStyle == DataRepeaterLayoutStyles.Vertical)
    {
        dataRepeater1.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
    }
    else
    {
        dataRepeater1.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    }
}

Private Sub DataRepeater1_LayoutStyleChanged(
    ) Handles DataRepeater1.LayoutStyleChanged

    ' Set the SelectionColor based on orientation.
    If DataRepeater1.LayoutStyle = 
       PowerPacks.DataRepeaterLayoutStyles.Vertical Then

        DataRepeater1.SelectionColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
    Else
        DataRepeater1.SelectionColor = Drawing.Color.Red
    End If
End Sub
