BackColorContainer property

Remarks

The container background RGB (Red Green Blue) color.

This property is used to reduce the aliasing effect that appears using rounded shapes: the anti-aliasing effect is obtained averaging the button borders with the container background color.

If you leave this property to its default (-1), the API will try to determine the container background color, but its success is not guaranteed (usually the setting of this property is not necessary if the container has been developed using Visual Basic).
