Change the status bar back color

[bugzy]

Hi all,

I've created a custom statusbar for a form, is there any way to change the backcolor of this control.

_statusbar.BackColor = Color.Black; //doesn't work.

Thanks.

My guess is you're using WindowsXP?

If this is the case then you have to Disable visual styles.

I disable the visual style, and it still doesn't work...

Here's what I saw at MSDN:

public override Color BackColor { get; set; }

But I don't know how to use this.

it may rely purely on the forms backcolor.
