DeadAreaBackColor Property
This property controls the background color of the dead area object.
object.DeadAreaBackColor= color
Read/Write at run time and design time.
Colors may be specified as RGB values or system default colors.
Setting this property will affect the appearance of the "dead area" of underpopulated controls, such as the area to the right of the last column, the area below the last data row, and the Outlook Grouping area.
Note
If the EmptyRows property is True, the empty data rows it creates are not considered part of the "dead area" and will not be displayed in the DeadAreaBackColor. If you wish for the area occupied by the empty rows to be shown in the DeadAreaBackColor, you should first set the EmptyRows property to False.
