I need to be able to detect when the background changes, for example user right clicks and selects next background, My first thought was using a FileSystemWatcher on the folder where the images are kept to detect when windows reads a image but that didn't work with the filter to last access but it doesn't seem to be working even when i run as administrator

I found this on the web after i was searching on how to change the background color of a dateTimePicker the actual background of the control not the background of the calendar within the control.

I want to change the Forecolor and the Font color of the DateTimePicker. (The one Narrow white window with Black font which appears on dragging "D.T.Picker" control onto the "Form").
So far, I couldn't do it.
I found the same question (by someone on 31st Aug 2007) and answers by Figo Fei in the forum. Figo fei said, "It is truly not possible to directly modify the forecolor of the DateTimePicker which is concealed in its implementation. However, there is a workaround to change its forecolor through own-draw mode in a custom control inherited from dateTimePicker.". And he gave the code which looks like - for me - either VC++ or VC#.
Code Snippet public partial class MyDateTimePicker : DateTimePicker { protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
I'm faced with another issue I would like to have resolved. I have filled my dataset with records from a table and successfully displayed it in a DataGrid.

When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?
I have a rich text box that I want to show as un-editable and un-selectable text. If I set Read-Only to YES and Enabled to NO, then I get the desired effect...

Is it possible to change the background color of a cell when I click on it?
Also, is it possible to set a property so that when a cell is clicked on once it already has the focus that the 'edit' text feature doesn't let the user to change the text?
