Set Backcolor for forms

Hi

I need to set the backcolor to all forms under my project with one
command

not by opening each form and do it

i think , something to do with MDI or Assembly or by some system
namespace, but i am not sure

Pls help me with example

VB Express, here.

One possible way of doing it is to create a global setting for the
color, say "DefaultBackCol or":

At design time, open the application settings (in the Project menu),
go to the "Settings" tab and create a new setting called
"DefaultBackCol or" (or whatever name suits you better), of type
System.Drawing. Color.

Then (still in design mode), open each Form Property binding: in the
form's property panel, expand "(Applicati on Settings)" and click the
ellipsis button next to the "(Property Bindings)" entry to bring up
its dialog. Then look up "BackColor" and associate it with the
"DefaultBackCol or" property you created. Do that to each of your
forms.

Finaly, at runtime, when you want to change the BackColor of the forms
associated with the DefaultBackColo r property, just set
My.Settings.Def aultBackColor to the new color, and all the forms will
change color accordingly.

HTH.

Regards,

Branco.

Hi,
You can create class with static variable containing backround color of the
form add just a one line of code on all formm (Form Load Event) & when ever
you want to change color of tha form just change static variable content.

OK, the direct method of setting the background color on a text-only (no panels) statusbar control seems to fail: Me.StatusBar1.Text = "<whatever> failed.> Me.StatusBar1.Backcolor = Color.Yellow ' nothing changes Me.StatusBar1.Refresh ' doesn't help either. What convoluted work-around (must be if the simple, direct method fails) is there for this?

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. I have a group of checkboxes; when the female gender is checked, I would like to change the backcolor property to reflect (pink) and if the checkbox male is checked to change the backcolor property to lightblue. In Access it's Me.Detail.BackColor = (color) When I try BackColor.Color(Pink) I get it's undeclared or something. Michael
