ToolStripContainer BackColor

Can anyone tell me what the background color of a ToolStripContainer should be? When I add a new one to my form it's property says Control color but it's not really. Changing the BackColor to say Red and the back to Control seems to correct the issue.

Is this a known issue or is it by design?

Regards

Graham

It looks like the ToolStripContentPanel is actually the one that is controlling the background color, ToolStripContainer.BackColor doesn't actually show in the designer.

Yea, if this is by design, its a little confusing. Perhaps post a bug report on Microsoft Product Feedback Center. Besides, who is going to leave the default as blue anyway?

You can change this by setting the ToolStripContentPanel.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.System;

Then the background color/background image will be honored. In post-beta2 builds, this should be the default.
