Why does this not work? (ComboBox.BackColor)

I can change the BackColor of a TextBox. However, the BackColor of a
ComboBox will not change.

thisComboBox.BackColor = Color.Yellow

The property is there and I don't get an error when I run. So why does
nothing happen?

Thanks!
 
I am running under Visual Studio 2003.

I am running the SmartPhone emulator.

Using:
OpenNETCF.EnvironmentEx.Version.ToString()

I am told that the version on the SmartPhone is:
1.0.3111.0

I don't know how to tell what version I am running in the IDE.

Further help would be appreciated.
 
That is SP1, the colour support you require was added in SP2. For smartphone
this gets tricky since it cannot be downloaded and installed into RAM - its
up to the operator/OEM to provide a ROM update. Smartphone 2003 Second
Edition has SP2 built in, but "first edition" has SP1 unless updated by the
operator.

This wants to install onto a device. I don't have a device yet as I'm
still in development. How do I install this onto the SmartPhone emulator?
ActiveSync has never been able to connect.
 
Ok, I downloaded the file from the below link, and when I ran it it said
that it was already installed. So I uninstalled it and resinstalled it but
the version number is still the same.

Why isn't the emulator showing/running SP2?
