System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker.BackColor
-
On a WinForm I'm working on I want to draw attention to two particular controls. One is a TextBox and I can set the BackColor property. The other is a DateTimePicker, and... " Setting the BackColor has no effect on the appearance of the DateTimePicker. To set the background color for the drop-down calendar of the DateTimePicker, see the CalendarMonthBackground property. " I don't want to set the background color for the drop-down calendar, in fact I'm setting ShowUpDown to true so the drop-down calendar won't be available anyway. This particular application is just a test bed for a class I'm debugging, so it isn't worth deriving a custom DateTimePicker or using a third-party control. That's why this is a rant. However, if anyone has a simple solution I'd like to hear it in case this comes up again in the future... as it likely will. :mad:

Why not put the DateTime picker in a Panel that's slightly larger and set the color of the panel? That would give you a bit of a border and you could even 'flash' it if you wanted to.
