How to set background color in TOC?

Question

Original User: Mathias Westin

Hi!

Does anyone know how to set the background color of the TocControl? The reason we want to do this is so that white symbols and lines will get visible in the TOC.

I'm afraid this is a known limit of TOCControl logged as NIM011743

We've tried almost everything you can do with the TOCControl and there is no way to change the background color. The only thing we haven't done is try to work with win32 API, that might be a possible way to do it... But the workaround that we done with the swatches is ok for now.

Hi,

You need to play with only TOCControl not for others.
