Hi all,

I am using a monthcalendar control in my application to allow a user to select a day from the calendar that will load data for that day.

the background is totally white (ugh). there is a backcolor property, but when i set it to say Cyan (yea right), the calendar still displays as white. I also can not set Forecolor, TitleBack/Fore color either.

I have gone to my project properties and turned off the "enable xp visual styles", and that had no effect. turned it back on...cant tell a difference.

i am currently on windows 7 running VS2008 Team Edition. It would be really nice to change the look of this control to match the styling of my application.

any help would be appreciated.

George,
I have the same problem. However, when I compile the program and run it on an XP machine the colour changes can be seen. Does anyone know what is causing this behaviour within Windows 7?
