header backcolor

I need to change the header backcolor's in my grid. I am assigning the
color like this

form1.grid1.columns(1).header1.backcolor=rgb(255,0,0) or whatever the color

When I refresh the grid, it is still grey.

I am only changing a couple of the column header colors to indicate certain
things for the users.

Can anyone help me with this?

if you run on XP with themes enabled you are wasting your time.

if you really want to spend the time, you could use Calvin's trick and
paint a semi transparent bitmap on top of your grid header.

To set the header backcolor, you will have to turn off the Themes
property for the grid.

It would be nice to be able to set the color and keep themes. Maybe in
VFP10, if there is one...
