This follows on from another thread with some other issues, but I am trying to subclass a Form with C# and say change the BackGround Colour to Blue.(Simple example but if I can get this to work, I should be able to get any other property to work)
I would have thought that this should be fairly simple, but cannot get it to work. I have subclasseed other controls that are dropped on a form ok
Has anybody subclassed a Form using C#. and changed a few properties ?
A sample of Code to do this in C# would really be appreciated. I have searchhed the forums here and Google, but still cant get it to work

The following class is a sub-class of the SF form and it changes the back colour to red.
using System;
using System.Reflection;
namespace MyApplication.Forms
{
public partial class BaseForm : MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.StandardForm
{
public BaseForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
}
This form is sub-classed from the above BaseForm and would have a red background by default
using System;
namespace MyApplication.Forms
{
public partial class myForm1: BaseForm
{
public myForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
This form is sub-classed from BaseForm but the default red colour is changed to blue for this form only.
using System;
namespace MyApplication.Forms
{
public partial class myForm2: BaseForm
{
public myForm2()
{
InitializeComponent();
// Override the base class red color
BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}
}
Hope it helps.

Hi Aaron.
Many thanks for that, and it worked perfectly.
I think I was missing the constructor bit, but when I copied your code verbatim, it worked fine.
