[wxPython] SetTextBackground seems to have no effect?

wxPython Users

Hello wxPythonistas:

I am trying to draw text with background colour. Although SetTextForeground
works
as documented, SetTextBackground seems not to have any effect. I am
expecting
a red background using the Draw function below, but I get a standard window
colour
instead. The control being drawn is within a grid within a frame.

How do I set the text background colour?

Thanks,
    Parzival

        alignV = self.align & 3
        if alignV == AlignTop:

            x = 0
        elif alignH == AlignCenter:

        dc.Clear()

        dc.DrawText(self.text, x, y)
        dc.EndDrawing()
