Re: Change Background of an MDI Form

i tried something like this but it didnt work :

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
		{
 
			base.OnPaintBackground(e);
			Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 3);
			Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300);
			e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rect);
 
		}
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
		{
			
			base.OnPaintBackground(e);
			Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 3);
			Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300);
