WinCE - C# Problem

Hi Guys,

I am developing a system using WinCE on Intel PXA255 processor.

On a particular screen, I want to change a button color when I click the button.

So the code is -

private void btnOpt1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.btnOpt1.Backcolor = Color.Red ;

// Other code follows here
}


When I run this code in Windows XP, it runs perfectly well. The button turns RED. However when I port the exact same code on WinCE, it doesn't work! Nothing crashes but the button doesn't change its color.


Interestingly this is happening only with the buttons. In the beginning I thought WinCE doesn't allow to change the environment color at the run time so I tried changing the color of a form when a particular event is generated and it works!

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe you send an invalidate to the Cbutton and see if it can force a redraw or something? hmmm

Or you can override the OnBackGround Erase for Controls, filter for CButton (assuming you are using CButton class) and do a CFill or something ... ?
