TextBox not reflecting changes made to it

Hi all... it's been a while since I've been around here... perhaps someone can shed some light on this one for me... I have a TextBox on a Windows Form. When I make changes to the properties, the object shows that they have been changed, but the TextBox itself does not actually change. Here is an example. txtSelectedValueBox.ForeColor = Color.Blue; If I step over this code, I find that the ForeColor property is blue, but unless my eyes deceive me, the text is still black. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening? -James
