Setting the treeview backcolor to form color

[kerv21]

I want to set the backcolor of the treeview control to the same grey shade as the form itself. However, I can't seem to find the exact same grey shade as the form.

Anyone have any ideas ?

here you go

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object_
, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim color_of_Form1 As Color
        color_of_Form1 = Me.BackColor
        TreeView1.BackColor = color_of_Form1
    End Sub

have fun!!

Look at the backcolor of the form in the properties window. Then figure out what it is set for. It is probably a system color. Then just set the back color of the treeview to the same exact setting (which by default is one of the system colors).

Whats wrong with: TreeView1.BackColor = Me.BackColor?

Also the systemColors are enumerated in as SystemColors:
TreeView1.BackColor =SystemColors.Control
