Remarks

A Scroll bar’s appearance is determined by its BackColor, ScrollBarOptions.BarColor, ScrollBarOptions.BorderColor and ScrollBarOptions.BarThickness properties.

Note

If the BackColor property is set to Empty, the background color is obtained from the appearance settings (a chart’s appearance is specified via its ChartControl.AppearanceName property).

The following images demonstrate the BackColor property in action.

BackColor isn’t defined (the default value)	BackColor = Color.Yellow
