You're better off doing it properly. Subclass all the VFP standard classes. Subclass the label from there for your application. Change your application subclass label's backstyle. Change all labels to be based on this instead. While you're at it, I'd change all your controls to be based on subclasses.

That's the very first thing I teach when I'm doing tuition.
