MDI Container

dotnet windows forms:

Hi All,
In C# when I change the isMDIContainer property of a Form to true, the
background color of the Form changes to a default color set by Visual Stuidio
(a dark grey) . Is there a way I can change this color to something of my
choice. If so how? Changing the background of the Form does not work when
the IsMDIContainer is set to true.
Please assist.

The MDIClient is a private control on the form, but it is accessible.

foreach (Control c In this.Controls)
if (c is MdiClient)
c.BackColor = Color.Green;

but if you want to paint to it then I would reccomend setting a
BackgroundImage to the form and painting that instead.
The MdiClient is private and notInheritable.
