	Hi, is there a PaintBackground event or something like that? Can't find anything that would help... I'm using a class to do the painting (mainly backgrounds) to support themes. Pretty much like the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer class in .net 2.0. If I don't want to paint everything by myself I can't use the Paint event though as it overdraws elements. Any ideas? I'd appreciate it... thanks heaps. Cheers, Andy

	Hi, There isn't any such event. You might try setting the flowchart's Brush, used to paint the background, to a texture or gradient brush. If that won't do, create a box in the background, lock it and set it to be fully custom drawn. I.e. box.ZIndex = 0, box.Locked = true, box.CustomDraw = Customdraw.Full. Also set the box size so that it covers the whole flowchart's DocExtents. Now handle the DrawBox event to paint the background. Cheers, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, thanks for your help... the box in the background should work fine. Thanks for the idea! Cheers Andy
