I am trying to create a class based on the mmTextBox class. I created a new class of UserControl, added the OakLeaf.MM.Main.Windows.Forms namespace and changed the parent class to mmTextBox. I then tried to change several properties, such as BackColor, Font, etc. I get an error when I compile indicating that the properties are readonly. How do I need to go about this? The code I tried is below. Thanks.

    public partial class EditStatusTextBox : mmTextBox
    {
        public EditStatusTextBox()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.Text = "View";
            this.BackColor.R = 255;
            this.BackColor.G = 255;
            this.BackColor.B = 128;
        }
    }
