Yes that was a typo.

I was not sure on how to go about the application styling solution.  Maybe i should look into doing it the correct way but i'll need some help.

So basically i have a control that has a month view (UltraMonthViewSingle), day view (UltraDayView) and week view (UltraWeekView) on it. Here is the code for that control's load event, the month view is the default.

        private void ctlCalendar_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            btnMonth.Select();       

            // Setup the color scheme for the calendar controls.
            Office2007ColorTable.ColorScheme = Office2007ColorScheme.Silver;
           
            this._monthView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            this._dayView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            this._weekView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

            // Default to the month view, hide the other controls.
            this._dayView.Visible = false;
            this._weekView.Visible = false;

            // Format the display header.
            FormatHeaderString();

            // RDOSAM-471 Making down arrow red.
            Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBorderColor = Color.DarkGray;
            Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBackColorNormal = Color.Red;
            Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBackColorHotTracking = Color.Black;
        }

I guess i don't know where to go from here. Oh i am using version 7.1 if that makes a difference..

Thanks

Those members were exposed to return the default colors, not really so they could be changed (looks like I forgot to mark them as const). There is no danger in doing that however, and it does provide a way around the Application Styling solution.

Just to clarify - you stated that when you mouse over it it turns blank, but I think this is a typo, and you actually meant black. I am certainly not calling you on a typo, I just want to make sure you aren't having a problem with this. If you are repost and we can try to help.

Just to follow up on my question i was finally able to get back to this and this is all i did to change the color.

Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBorderColor = Color.DarkGray;
Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBackColorNormal = Color.Red;
Office2007MoreItemsIndicatorUIElement.defaultBackColorHotTracking = Color.Black;

The down arrow is now red, when you mouse over it it turns black.

Thank you Brian. I'll give that a try and let you know what i find out.
