Re: Change MDI BackColor

Dinesh,

I believe someone actually posted a solution, but incase
you missed it this is probably along the same lines:

using MdiColour;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MdiColour
{

        public class EntryPoint : System.Windows.Forms.Form
        {

                public EntryPoint()
                {

                        // Set the form to be a MDI container then
enumerate
                        // the controls collection to find the
MdiClient, there
                        // is only ever one (in theory) MdiClient, when
it is
                        // found set its color to red. Note that it
isn't necessary
                        // to cast to MdiClient since its base "Control"
already
                        // supports a BackColor property.
                        this.IsMdiContainer = true;
                        foreach (Control control in this.Controls)
                        {

                                if (control is MdiClient)
                                {

                                        control.BackColor = Color.Red;

                                }

                        }

                }

                public static void Main()
                {

                        Application.Run(new EntryPoint());

                }

        }

}

Dinesh, if you did see the other same, the confusion you
might be experiencing is the class name "MdiClient" note
that this isn't actually a child form, it is the control
surface which actually hosts the forms.

I think I could not put my question in right way.

My MDI Form does not have MDI Child but has a space where I could open a
Child form.

I am not able to change the color of that space, that space is MDI
Form's Background color and it is always Dark Grey, the other controls
on the MDI form does take the Background color if they are transperent.

I don't want't to put any background Image on the MDI Form.

Is there any solution for this?
Dinesh
