>I've put a standard combo box (the default one that comes with VFP and not sub classed either) on a form and tried to change the border color to red (255,0,0) from the default color (100,100,100) in the properties dialog. It does not change to red but remains gray. The same happens for a list box, an edit box and a text box. The same does NOT happen for a container. It's border color WILL change to red from BLACK even though the default border color is (100,100,100) for said container!!!

>So, my question is, why does a default border color of (100,100,100) appear grey for a text box, edit box, list box and combo box but black for a container? How do I get the border color of a container to look the same as the default border color for say, a text box?

For the Container you can change BorderColor. For the other controls the border color is controlled by the theme and can be changed through changing theme in appearances.
