I'm not I understand what exactly you want to do..but, you can change both
the foreground and background color of the standard
System.Windows. Forms.CheckBox usinng the ForeColor & BackColor Properties.

Thanks,
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,

thanks for your answer. I want to change the color inside of the box where
the hook is in it (this is always white), not of the textarea.

Can you help me?

Thanks, Thomas

Thomas,

I going to assume you ment a WinForm CheckBox.
With that said here is how I would do it.

Add an ImageList Control to the Form. To hold the 16x16 images used as
the check box area of the control.
Image 1: Image of an Unchecked box
Image 2: Image of a box with a check in it
Image 3: Image of a Indeterminate Box with a check in it (Only if 3
state)

Add a Paint Event to the check box the the following code.
private void CheckBox1_Paint (object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
if( CheckBox1.Check ed )
e.Graphics.Draw ImageUnscaled( ImageList1.Imag es[1],
0, // X start point
0 ); // Y start point
else
e.Graphics.Draw ImageUnscaled( ImageList1.Imag es[0],
0, // X start point
0 ); // Y start point
}

Note: Forms will be slowed during load the more check boxes you have
to draw.

Hopes this helps.
