>>>>I am trying to make my forms and controls conform to the Windows Color Scheme, but certain visual objects don't have a ColorScheme property. The VFP documentation suggests the best way to set the color schemes for objects is directly throught their BackColor and ForeColor properties. How can I make every object conform to the Windows color settings?

You must be using version 3 because 5 automatically inherits these properties. but in the mean time before you get version 5 try this...
=EVALUATE("RGB(" + SUBSTR(RGBSCHEME(15,1), AT(",", RGBSCHEME(15,1), 3) + 1))
Changing the number *1* in this expression will give you different properties of certain windows objects, but I seem to have lost my breakdown of the number representations.
