I’m working with Visual Studio 2008 using C#. I would like to find out how to change the ToolStripMenuItem.BackColor when the user hovers over a menustrip item. I’ve tried changing the BackColor property in the MouseHover event but nothing changes. I would appreciate any solutions that you might have.

Doesn't work! BTN.BackColor = Color.Black
