The colour of objects like command and radio buttons, text labels, etc. comes out rather oddly on my sub-classed forms. I have create a form, subclassed from the main VFP form. It has no unusual colour properties as far as I can see. If I drop a VFP command button onto a non-classed form - it's fine. If I drop it on my form class, it comes out with an whitish colour. Text labels have a nasty look to them to. I am using VFP 7 and Windows XP. Thanks out there, Denis
