Can't change back color of RadGirdView from other form

[Philip]

I am calling a panel from another form so I can re-use it without having duplicate code. This panel has a RadViewGrid, but because it is called outside of its parent form it doesn't seem to call the CellFormatting handle. I am trying to style the cells in code, but backcolor doesn't seem to do anything

'Create new form to display pnlPayment
 Dim FormPayment As Form = New Form
FormPayment.Size = New Size(1070, 652)
FormPayment.Name = "FormPayment"
FormPayment.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
FormPayment.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog
FormPayment.ControlBox = False
FormPayment.Controls.Add(FrmCashRegister.pnlPayment)

'dynamically find this. can also be done with FrmCashRegister.pnlPayment.Visible = true but I wrote it like this to be sure and to make my life hard
Dim paymentpanel() As Control = FormPayment.Controls.Find("pnlPayment", False).

paymentpanel(0).Visible = True
FrmCashRegister.RadGridViewPayment.AutoSizeRows = True
FrmCashRegister.RadGridViewPayment.EnableAlternatingRowColor = True
For Each row As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewRowInfo In FrmCashRegister.RadGridViewPayment.Rows
    For Each cell In row.Cells
        cell.Style.DrawFill = True
        cell.Style.ForeColor = Color.White 'works
        cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Blue 'doesn't work
    Next
Next

The cell.Style.ForeColor works, but cell.Style.BackColor does not.

I've tried getting the CellElement and assigning styling there but that doesn't work either.
