BackColor property not available

All controls are supposed to be based on 'Control'. A Control has a property BackColor. Hence, each control (e.g. a standard ScrollBar) should have an inherited property BackColor. However, for Scroll Bar this property is not available in the properties window! Surprise: you CAN access it in code. But it has no effect!! Same story for BackgroundImage. Any advice on how to re-color these standard controls? Paul
