[DUG] XP Manifest and Label Color

[Rohit Gupta]

Thanks,

that fixed it, the same problem as the Panel.  Since we always subclass 
all components, it was simple to fix.  And now the dratted statictext... 
I will try the same fix for that.

In case anyone has missed it, this is because a property is defaulted in 
the original component say to True.  In a descendant component's 
constructor you set it to false.  Now, in the Object Inspector you can 
never set it to True - if you do, it doesn't save it because it is 
default.  Therefore the descendant constructor sets it to false.

This is the problem in the background color with XP manifest for Panel, 
Label and StaticText... so far.  :-)
