How to set the foreground color of the CheckBox in C#?

The CheckBox control is the part of windows form which is used to take input from the user. Or in other words, CheckBox control allows us to select single or multiple elements from the given list. In CheckBox, you are allowed to set the foreground color of the CheckBox using the ForeColor property of the CheckBox. It makes your CheckBox more attractive. 
This property is an ambient property means if we do not set the value of this property, then it will be retrieved from the parent control. In Windows form, you can set this property in two different ways:
1. Design-Time: It is the simplest way to set the ForeColor property of a CheckBox using the following steps: 
 





2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the ForeColor property of a CheckBox programmatically using the following syntax:
 

public virtual System.Drawing.Color ForeColor { get; set; }

Here, Color is used to represent the foreground color of the CheckBox. Following steps are used to set the ForeColor property of the CheckBox: 
 

// Creating checkbox
CheckBox Mycheckbox = new CheckBox();
// Set the ForeColor property of the CheckBox
Mycheckbox.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen;
// Add this checkbox to form
this.Controls.Add(Mycheckbox);
