Change Backcolor on a UDF

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to change the backcolor on a Business Partner UDF without success.  It will work on the standard form, but not on the UDF.  Does anyone have a solution?
Me.ActiveSboForm.Items.Item("40").BackColor = RGB(193, 255, 193) <========== WORKS
Me.UDFForm.Items.Item("U_DropShipComment").BackColor = RGB(193, 255, 193)  <=========== DOES NOT WORK
Thanks!
Ramona

Something like this...
//Add EditText to main form and databind it (ItemEvent)
//This bind a UDF called U_BOY_DIR to the form
if(pVal.EventType == BoEventTypes.et_FORM_LOAD && pVal.BeforeAction) {
  Form f = sboApp.Forms.Item(FormUID);
  Item i = f.Items.Add(”BOY_1”,BoFormItemTypes.it_EDIT);
  i.Left = 440;
  i.Top = 82;
  i.Height = 14;
  i.Width = 100;
  i.Backcolor = //The color
  EditText et = (EditText)i.Specific; //Get specific
  //Databind (OCRD from systemform)
  et.DataBind.SetBound(true,”OCRD”,”U_BOY_DIR”);
