Is there a simple way to change the colour of the checkbox's background
colour from the default white to another colour for the actual box (not the
label which you can do at design time).

Hi,

Did you try Flatstyle property in your check box? I think below code will
help full to you.

this.checkBox1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.AppWorkspace;

this.checkBox1.FlatStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Popup;

You will have to draw the control yourself (for example, by deriving a
class from 'CheckBox' and overriding its 'OnPaint' method.

Thanks, we will probably give this a try when we get a chance.
