Step 8 of 8: Formatting the Tiles in the FormatValue Event

In this step the C1TileControl.FormatValue event is used to format the tile’s backcolor, tile’s images, and the tile’s country name.

In the C1TileControl’s events property window double click on FormatValue item to create an event handler.
In code view, add the following code to the C1TileControl1_FormatValue event handler:

Private Sub c1TileControl1_FormatValue(sender As Object, e As FormatValueEventArgs)    If e.TileProperty = TileProperty.BackColor Then
          If TypeOf e.Value Is Boolean AndAlso CBool(e.Value) Then
                e.Value = Color.Firebrick
