[DUG] XP Manifest and Label Color

[Cheng Wei (FMI)]

Watch out for this one as well -
 
If you use the TDCVertListView component from Dream Company and run your
apps on a machine with XP theme activated, you may find all items
disappear from your list view. What happens is it draws the items first
and then the background, hence erasing all items it has just drawn.
 
Regards
Cheng

	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.  :-)

label colours
