SYMPTOMS
In Visual FoxPro 5.0 the DisabledBackColor property of Label objects defaults to gray. In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, the DisabledBackColor defaults to white.



CAUSE
In Visual FoxPro 5.0 the Label's ColorSource property defaults to 4-Windows Colors (Default). In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, the ColorSource property defaults to 0-Object's Color Properties.



WORKAROUND
Change the ColorSource property to 0-Object's Color Properties. A special Label class could be created that has the ColorSource property set to 0- Object's Color Properties. Use this Label class instead of the base class Visual FoxPro provides.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a form.
 * 2) Drop a Label object on the form.
 * 3) Change the Enabled property to .F. False.
 * 4) Note that the DisabledBackColor property is set to gray (192,192,192).
 * 5) Place another label on the form and change its ColorSource property to 0-Object's Color Properties.
 * 6) Change the Enabled property to .F. False.

The DisabledBackColor property is set to white (255,255,255).
