Hi,

I would like to change the background color of all forms within my
application to light blue (or what ever users choose).

I know that I can add a little code to each form and user control to do
that. Is there any automated way to change the background color of all
application forms globally?

Any help would be appreciated,
Max
 
Create a base form that has this functionality. You then inherit your other
forms from this form. If you already have other forms in your application,
just change the class declaration to derive from your new form class instead
of directly from "Form".
 
Hi Max,

I agree to what Peter has suggested.

In my opinion, the best and simplest way is to use a base form, set its
background color in code and inherit other forms in your application from
the base form.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu
