Changing the forms backcolor has no effect.

[rambleon]

Hi,
I have a form that I change the backcolor property. The property displays the new color, but the forms backcolor remains unchanged. Changing backcolor on other forms in the project works ok.
Any ideas what the problem might be. ?

Is this begin done right before some heavy processing?
try throwing in a frm.refresh

Also, are you sure the form object you are changing the back color on is the same object that is displayed? Remeber VS 2k2 and 2k3 do not have default instantiations, so if you declare a form in one place, then declare another one of the same type someplace else, they are not the same object.
