how to change WinForm controls' text color programatically?

[thedougster]

Can anybody tell me how to change WinForm controls' text color programatically? I have no problem finding the fields to assign colors to, but the compiler doesn't recognize any color I mention, whether it's something like WindowText, or something like Red.

BTW, I'm using VC# Express 2008.

Can you post your code how you do it?

Normally, it's just doing control.ForeColor = SystemColors.WindowText

example of textbox:

textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red;

Simple as that if that is what you're aiming for.

Note: for standard colours like Red, you need to prefix them with "Color."
