If you are setting the background color for an individual cell, then ResetBackColor resets that cell's background color to its default color. If, instead, you set the background color using the BackColor property for a Row object, then you must use the ResetBackColor for that Row. If you want to loop all the cells setting the color to White, you can speed this up by invalidating the painting in the Spread while you are looping the cells.
FpSpread1.SuspendLayout()
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0, 499, 499).BackColor = Color.White
FpSpread1.ResumeLayout(True)
Resetting the component or a sheet to its default settings returns the component or the sheet to its initial state prior to any design-time or run-time changes. It clears data, resets colors, and returns cells to the default cell type. Resetting the component resets everything in the component to the state when the component is first drawn on the form.
Note: Resetting the component or a sheet clears the data in the sheet(s) as well as the formatting. If you provide a way for users to reset their sheet(s), be sure to have them confirm the action before resetting the sheet(s).
You can find out the default size of the component using the FpSpread DefaultSize property.
For more information about clearing data, refer to Removing Data from a Sheet.
For information on resetting values creating during the design using Spread Designer, refer to explanation of this procedure in the Spread Designer Guide.
