Hi Tore,

>Check the themes property!

OK, have done, but are you aware if there is any correlation between a grid's backcolor/forecolor and its container.

Thanks,

In these cases, without my modification, the grid displays the following backcolor '13160660', the same shade of grey as the form. In my custom code, if the read-only cursor source is empty of records, I still want to display the usual read-only colour ie., '13160660'. When the the read-only cursor source has records, then the refresh code in the grid sets backcolor to White. All pretty straightforward <s>.

Does anyone know the best approach to ensure that my ReadOnly/Not-ReadOnly backcolor settings will be commensurate with the current XP theme setting - eg., I could use the form's backcolor as the grid's read-only backcolor.
