DarkMode Property, SftMask Object

Defines the dark mode setting (off, on, or following the Windows setting).

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftMask object.

Mode

Defines the dark mode setting (off, on, or following the Windows setting).

Comments

The DarkMode property defines the dark mode setting (off, on, or following the Windows setting).

When set to darkSftMaskAuto, the control follows the Windows "Choose your mode" setting and re-renders automatically when it changes; the DarkModeChange event is raised when the effective state changes.

Use DarkModeActive to determine whether dark mode is currently active.
