Change the fore colour of a command button

[Syerston]

Is there a way to change the fore colour (text) of a command button. John

Hi John,

Not that I'm aware of. What I always do is put a Frame(Enable = False,BorderStyle = 0) on the Button and put a Label on the Frame.

well i don't think it's possible..... but you could always make a little picture and use it INSTEAD of text.... this way you can have fancy text decoration aswell. But maybe the little shortcut thing (what & does... what's it called? the name escapes me.) well anyway maybe it wont work then.

You can definitely change the forecolor of a command button. Go to this link and copy the code:

Thank you Swi,

That piece of code works perfectly John

Easier way than copying that chunk of code:
on the properties of a command button there is something called style - make this graphical and then choose the background colour - simple!

Simple if you want to change the background colour, yes. Not so simple if you want to change the foreground colour, as per syerston's original query.

Another avenue may be to use a toggle button instead of a command button.
