I tried setForeColor and setBackColor with Visual J++ (Microsoft) but that did not color my button (no bug either); any idea?

Here are some examples:
btnX.setBackground(Color.white);
btnY.setBackground(Color.gray);
btnZ.setBackground(Color.green);

this does not work with Microsoft Visual J++. Instead of setBackground and setForeground, it has setBackColor and setForeColor. I typed
button1.setForeColor(Color.RED);
but the button color did not changed !!

You'll notice that my examples used setBackground(). If MS VJ++ doesn't use the standard Java API's, there's a problem. But you might want to try

btnX.setBackColor(Color.RED);

Setting the foreground color changes the color of any text that's on the button.
