This refers to the form. Try with the backcolor, you'll see the backcolor of the form will change.

I think Viv is correct that you may need to loop through all the labels and set the ForeColor individually for each label (that's how I understood Viv and this is how it works in VFP as well).

>Man, maybe I shouldn't post late at night when I am tired...:) I was working on both Font and Color proeprties and with it being so late, somehow both were intermingled. Sorry about that; I've corrected it below to be more clear.

>>>I have a situation where the same code works in one Windows Form, but not in another form I am now working on in my C# class. I believe I have all the code necessary to change the default "ForeColor" property for the WinForm, but the "ForeColor" on all the labels does not change at all. Did I miss any steps here?

>>Bit confusing since you talk about Fonts and the code is for Colors :-}
>>But the code should work - as should the equivalent using FontDialog().
>>But bear in mind that, for example, Foreground is an ambient property - if you have specifically set the value in the control itself then it will no longer 'inherit' from the form
