Set the color of a control in C++, Windows Store Metro App

Question

I'm making a Windows Store Metro application and I have some issues..

I want to set the color of a control in C++ but I can't figure out how to do it..

I have the following code now:

txt1->Background = ?

Did you mean to tag this C++/CLI or C++? – Captain Obvlious Oct 05 '15 at 13:07 — Captain Obvlious, Oct 05 '15 at 13:07

I have the solution, first make a brush object and set the color and assign that color to your controls background. I used the following:

SolidColorBrush^ myBrush = ref new SolidColorBrush(Windows::UI::Colors::Red);
TextBox^ txtID = ref new TextBox();
txtID->Background = myBrush;
