Item.ForeColor Property (ExToolBar)

The ForeColor property specifies the item's foreground color. The BackColor property specifies a different background color or a visual appearance for the item. The Caption property indicates the item's caption to be shown on the item. You can use the <fgcolor> HTML tag in the Caption property to specify a different foreground color for parts of the caption. The SelForeColor property specifies the item's foreground color when it is selected or highlighted.

How can I change the item's foreground color?
