Property Value

If the IsBackColorAmbient property returns true, then the value of the BackColor property is inherited from its parent.

To reset the value of the BackColor property to its default value, DefaultBackColor, the ResetBackColor method must be called or System.Drawing.Color.Empty assigned to the BackColor property.

In the case where the WindowsXP theme is applied to the grid, the values of certain properties, such as BackColor, will not be applied to themed elements such as the ColumnManagerRow and RowSelectorPane.
