Hello,

Here workaround

Item.CaptionMetrics.BackColor = XtremePropertyGrid.ColorManager(STDCOLOR_BTNFACE)

Using xpg with VB6, if I try to set the CaptionMetrics.BackColorproperty of a Property Grid Item to a windows system color (e.g.vbButtonFace), it always displays as black, regardless of the valueused.  The basic color constants (e.g. vbRed) seem to workfine. 

Any thoughts?

Regards,
