Article: Q157053
Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): WINDOWS:5.0,6.0
Operating System(s):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In Visual FoxPro 5.0 the DisabledBackColor property of Label objects defaults to
gray. In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, the DisabledBackColor defaults to white.

CAUSE
=====

In Visual FoxPro 5.0 the Label's ColorSource property defaults to 4-Windows
Colors (Default). In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, the ColorSource property defaults to
0-Object's Color Properties.

WORKAROUND
==========

Change the ColorSource property to 0-Object's Color Properties. A special Label
class could be created that has the ColorSource property set to 0- Object's
Color Properties. Use this Label class instead of the base class Visual FoxPro
provides.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

1. Create a form.

2. Drop a Label object on the form.

5. Place another label on the form and change its ColorSource property to
  0-Object's Color Properties.
