Thanks for the reply.
What I was really trying to accomplish was having the designer display
changes from a SetColors() function called in my form Load event handler.
Doing this:
this.SuspendLayout();
this.SetColors();
this.ResumeLayout();
partially works to set the colors of my form at design time without actually
setting the colors in the designer. However, it is far from perfect. I
just gave up on it and decided to move on.
