MDI Container BackColor

Lee

Hi,

I have an MDI app, and want to change the containers back color to something
other than the default grey. The backcolor property does not appear to work
on MDI containers.

thanks in advance

There are other ways, but the MDIClient is the first control added to the
form and so unless you have messed around with zOrder it's as simple as:

this.Controls[this.Controls.Count - 1].BackColor = someColor;

is that how you solved it?
