Question:
Why do attempts to change the background and foreground colours associated with a checkbox fail? Have the methods Component.setBackground() and Component.setForeground() not been implemented?

Answer:
The methods have been implemented but don't do anything in the ER5 Runtime for Java as EIKON does not provide the requisite support for changing control colours. This shortcoming is remedied in UIKON, the successor to EIKON in the next EPOC release, so future releases of the EPOC Runtime for Java should have this ability.
