Question

The following code sets the ForeColor of the GroupBox to pink but this settings cascades to all the child controls as well:

groupbox.ForeColor = Color.Pink

How do I change the ForeColor of a GroupBox without having that color applied to every child control as well?

Answer 1

You could iterate through all the controls in the GroupBox and set their respective ForeColor properties:

groupBox1.ForeColor = Color.Pink;
foreach (Control ctl in groupBox1.Controls) {
    ctl.ForeColor = SystemColors.ControlText;
}
