Trying to change the Border Color of a label

Question

I\'m working in VB, VS2008, winforms. I\'ve got some labels to create, and I\'m using the BorderStyle = FixedSingle.

Is there any way to change the color of this bo

Answer 1

I combined the solutions from robin.ellis and orandov to get a result that worked the best for me. I created a custom control that inherited the Label object and then overrode the OnPaint event.

Public Class nomLabel
   Inherits Label

  Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
      MyBase.OnPaint(e)

      ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics, e.ClipRectangle, myColor, ButtonBorderStyle.Solid)
   End Sub

End Class

Thanks for the help!
