Newbie: changing background color

[steve]

Hi,
I am trying to incorporate a simple color dialog (MyDialog) to change the background color of my form.

I am using
tabMenu.BackColor = MyDialog.Color

and nothing happens!

However when I am using the above with ForeColor the text color changes, as expected.

I think everything is properly defined (taken from msdn) and i get no errors!.....

TIA
