c# - Groupbox Border color - AGAIN!

[Ames111]

I have found about a billions threads on this but not one answer.

The groupbox control, how can you set its border colour?

I see many people responding with "Capture the onpaint event"

but honestly i believe im not the only person who gets no benefit from
such a suggestion.

A sample on capturing this event, setting the border color to something
else, and some explanation as to where such code would go would be real
help.

I can't believe that such a control doesnt have a bordercolor property.

Thanks

Hi,

There is no public property for this. hence you cannot change it.

I see many people responding with "Capture the onpaint event"

but honestly i believe im not the only person who gets no benefit from
such a suggestion.

It's a good suggestion , you handle that event and can erase (paint) the
border the way you like, what is wrong with that?

A sample on capturing this event, setting the border color to something
else, and some explanation as to where such code would go would be real
help.

See MSDN for Control.Paint event.

I can't believe that such a control doesnt have a bordercolor property.

I have never used this control, when I need to group controls I use Panel

cheers,
