Ultralabel Color is not changing

Shibly posted over 14 years ago

Hi,

I am using the following code to change the background color programatically.

lblflagging.BackColor = Color.OrangeRed

However the default background color (GreenYellow) does not change.

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks

ok I changed the font to default (as opposed to GreenYellow) and now it worked.

I set the UseAppStyle Property to false but it did not work.

Hi,

The default background color of a label or UltraLabel uses the system control color. Unless your system is using GreenYellow, I assume you that by "default" here you mean that GreenYellow is the AppStylist color?

If that's the case, then the AppStylist colors will take precedence over any appearances you set in code. That is by design. If you want a particular individual label to be a different color, you have several options.

You could set UseAppStyling on that UltraLabel control to false.

You could add a StyleSet to your StyleLibrary specifically with styling information for the UltraLabel and then you could set StyleSetName on that label to the name of the StyleSet. This is good if you have two different sets of labels or controls that you want to apply different styling to.
