  After upgrading ActiveReports from v11 to v15, the CustomControl.Control object no longer has a BackColor property.

  CustomControl customControl = new CustomControl(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Panel));
  
  customControl.Control.BackColor = …

  What has changed and how do I access the BackColor of this object in v15?

  Hello,

  Can you change the BackColor using the following code:

  Panel Panel1 = (Panel) customControl.Control;
  
  Panel1.BackColor= Color.Redl

  Thanks,

  Thank you. Here is the full code. I’m trying to set it to another controls BackColor

  if (a_control is CustomControl)
              {
                 CustomControl control = (CustomControl)a_control;
                 CustomControl customControl = new CustomControl(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Panel));
                 customControl.Control.BackColor = control.Control.BackColor;
  
                 newControl = customControl;
              }
  

  This conversion works
  
  Panel panel1 = (Panel)customControl.Control;

  However, I still can’t set it to the other control’s BackColor because that conversion does not work, or I’m not sure how to do that conversion.

  panel1.BackColor = control.Control.BackColor;

  Hello,

  Can you try after using the following code:
  
  Control ctr= (Control)control.Control;
  
  panel1.BackColor = ctr.BackColor;

  If issue still reproducible, please share the sample with us.

  Thanks,
