Now is the weirdest part. I just changed it to 49,106,197, tried to run the form, which used it (it failed, since we did some changes yesterday). Then I tried to reset to default by right clicking and it resets to 255,255,255 - the same as HighlightForeColor!!!!! Did I find some bug? We're using MereMortals framework, the grid is cGrid class, it has some custom properties and code, but should it make a difference?

So, now I am wondering, if anyone can confirm this problem I accidentally discovered. With the VFP base class and with the subclass. Any MereMortals users?

BTW, I used your code in my grdSorting class (with proper credit to you, of course), so thanks again.

Thanks.
