Is it possible to change the ForeColor of all the labels on a form at runtime, including the form which is yet to be called? So that all the labels have the same color throughout the app.
View 2 RepliesI used a sub below in form_load to change all label forecolor but do not work.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI created 3 Forms (Form1, Form2 and Form3) and I added a button on every form. This is code for Button1 on Form1:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
Me.Hide()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form2:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form3.Show()
End Sub
Code for Button1 on Form3:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Now, the problem is that when I click on Button1 on Form3 it shows Form2 but the Form2 BackColor is not red, it is default color, A.K.A Control Color. But I specified in Button1 on Form1 that Form2.BackColor is Red. And also if I click on Button1 on Form2 when Form3 shows it, the Form3 BackColor is also default, it is not red.
I know one way to solve it but it is so not-professional. It is that you add on Button1 on Form2 this:
Form3.BackColor = Color.Red
and on Button1 on Form3 this:
Form2.BackColor = Color.Red
It is ok in this situation but what if I have more stuff, for example if I have an option for changing theme so it has to change all labels and buttons ForeColor, what then, is there any other way?
I have set the following colors of my form /controls:

At design time, everything is ok but during the run time, I cannot see the text of labels / groupboxes.
I need to allow labels in disabled panels to retain a their prominent forecolor. So, I am considering replacing all labels in panels that become disabled with LinkLabels. By disabling the control and setting its disabled color to black it holds the color. However, I have always been of the opinion that one should use the lightest control possible.
