bgcolor for cmdbutton

[Bobnz]

is it possible to give command buttons a background color?
if so how?

TIA
Bob

I believe you can simulate that by making the transparent property True and then placing something with the color you need underneath it, or perhaps the otherway by placing a transparent label? overtop of it with background color set.


Have a great day!

The nice thing about making the button transparent and using a label behind it is you can change the color of the label using the button's event properties. I've used this for taking attendance. Once clicked, the button changes color

Or use a label as the button. Unattached labels expose some events you can use (for instance the on mouse down/mouse up, where you can play with the .SpecialEffect property of the label (try 2 on mousedown, 1 on mouseup) to mimick clicking a button, and the on click event for just as any button).
