I've looked through the help file quite a bit and I found where it tells me that the background color can be set, but I've been unable to find where it tells the name of the specific property I need to set. Could someone please point me to the specific area of the help file in which I should be looking? Or, can anyone give me an example of how this can be coded if it really is possible?
