It's not a problem. The controls are working as designed. Win2K has a different default color scheme than NT/9x and the controls are using that. You should not set the backcolor of any control, as Windows guidelines specify that the user should pick them in WIndows display properties. You should not change this in your app.


>We seem to have found an issue with back colors when viewed on different machines. I began to research this issue after my customer noticed a problem with their applications on Windows 2000 workstations.

>To simplify the description of the problem, when I open a new form or label on my NT (or WIN98) system based on the VFP base classes, the default backcolor is 192,192,192. When I do the same on windows 2000, the default backcolor is 212,208,200. This alone is not such a problem, but we noticed the issue because most of our classes use the default backcolor (previously 192,192,192) but several of our classes explicitly set the backcolor to 192,192,192. The point here is that there is a difference between the background color specifically set and that which is set by default. The default setting changes when opened in win 2000.
