Is it possible to change the background colour of the edit box somehow when you have the 'Rich Editor' valud checked?

Any help/ideas appreciated

Hi Simon,

This is on OI 8.0 but in theory the code would work from 4.1.3 above (i think).

It appears the background property in OI can't be set but you can force windows via the API to do it for you.
