I have inherited the UltraCheckEditor in a new class to add some properties.

I have noticed that the Appearance object is changed (internally?) after the constructor is done.

My code looks like this (simplified):

    public partial class KTCheckBox : UltraCheckEditor
    {
        private KTControl _controlData;

        public KTCheckBox()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

// This is where I pass the Appearance to my KTControl class. So this class can so something with the colors later.
            _controlData = new KTControl(this.Appearance);
        }

        public void ChangeColor()
        {

            // This does not work! ( _controlData.SetColor does _stored_appearance.ForeColor = ...)
            _controlData.SetColor(Color.Navy);

           // This works
           // this.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.Red;
        }
