Font color on a button (OpenInsight Specific)

I just discovered that no matter what I set the font color on a command button to be it always appears black in Win 95.
In Windows 3.1 (same machine/dual-boot) it works fine.
Even Set_Property(Control, "FORECOLOR", Color_code) doesn't do anything.
Any ideas? Thanks,

The color is being overridden by CTL3D.DLL. Different versions of this DLL work in different ways.

Cameron,
Could you elaborate on this? On my computers (Win 95)
font colors appear on buttons. On a client's computer (Win 95),
button text is all black. Also, their buttons look different - more like
buttons in Win 95 apps - while my buttons look like those in a
Win 3.1 app. Only differnce is they are using
oengine.run and I am using oengine.exe As far as I know, all the .dll's
should be the same, since they have a copy of my system.

Ctl3d.dll is reponsible for certain common user interface functions including button appearance. It is stored in Windows\System AND frequently in application subdirectories. In a perfect world you'd have one copy in Windows\system and it'd be the one which works the way you want. So update their ctr3d.dll with yours….

It's definetly CTL3D.DLL. On an app I've been working on, one of the guys had red text on the buttons and whenever I ran it, it was always black. We compared and did all sorts of things, and everything was the same. I installed something and it overwrote this file. Switching it out changed it. Nothing to do with the engine at all. It's all based on this file. Drove me nuts for a few months.
