Ahh, ive sorted it. The TextBox had its ReadOnly property set to True. For some reason this seems to effect changes to the BackColor.<br />
Thanks for answering me tho, Ill give you the points anyway

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a series of TextBoxes on my form and I want to be able to programatically change their Back Color to the 'Control' system color.<br />
If I set the color in the control properties at design time it works fine but if I try to set it using:<br />
txtboxInvoiceToCode.BackCo<wbr />lor = System.Drawing.Color.FromK<wbr />nownColor(<wbr />KnownColor<wbr />.Control)<br />
during runtime all it does is change the BackColor where the text is and leaves the rest of the control's BackColor as white.<br />
Can someone tell me how I can change this properly.<br />
Thanks
