Example

Executing the example requires a form with the Button1 button, the UiTabSheet component named UiTabSheet1 and the TabFootnotesBox component for which UiTabSheet1 is set as a data source. Add a link to the Drawing system assembly.

Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
Var
    TabSheet: ITabSheet;
    Footnotes: ITabFootnotes;
    Footnote: ITabFootnote;
Begin
    TabSheet := UiTabSheet1.TabSheet;
    Footnotes := TabSheet.Footnotes;
    //Gradient from white to azure down the component
    Footnotes.BackgroundBrush := New GxLinearGradientBrush.Create(
        GxColor.FromKnownColor(GxKnownColor.White),
        GxColor.FromKnownColor(GxKnownColor.DarkGray),
        90);
    //New footnote
    Footnote := Footnotes.Add(0, 0);
