    I put this question out there yesterday, but was unable to get a solution. Kedaman was good enough to respond, but was unable to solve this.

    Does anybody out there know how to change the background color of the actual checkbox portion of a checkbox (not the caption area, which can easily be done with the BackColor property)? I'm sure that the API is involved, but I don't know where to begin.

    There has to be a way to do this, because when you click a checkbox, you'll see for a brief moment that the color of the box inside changes (it flashes as you click the mouse).

    I appreciate any help I can get on this.

    Actually there is another way, you can skin the checkbox but i think that's too much work if you compare with making your own checkbox. I've seen the skinning somewhere, try to search for it

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
