Change the caption color of a groupbox but not the text in the groupbox?

Question

I have a groupbox on my winform and I'd like to change the color of the caption / title but not use ForeColor as I don't want the text in the groupbox to change.

Just to clarity: Tim points to this one: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7493900/993547, which is not the best workaround I believe. — Patrick Hofman, Jan 26 '15 at 12:18
@TimSchmelter Thanks Tim that does work but not as well as Patrick's. — Nikewatch, Jan 26 '15 at 13:13

You could wrap the RadioButton in another Panel which you Dock Fill in the GroupBox. Then set the ForeColor of that Panel to SystemColors.ControlText.

This prevents the ForeColor of the RadioButton to be derived from the GroupBox.
