Changing the color of a command button 1

[ciskris]

Is there anyway to change the color of a command button from the default gray color? I now you can change the background color of some controls but I haven't found anything for buttons.

Hi!

Go to this web site

http://www.lebans.com.

You will find a lot of free downloads including a database that will allow you to make changes to the looks of command buttons.

ciskris,

Definitely take Lonnie's suggestion on the search of the forums. Some of us answered a similar question regarding pictures as buttons about an hour ago.

If what you want to do is have command buttons with different back colors, use rectangles instead.

A rectangle has a click event and can be set up to look like a command button by adjusting the special effect and border properties on the mouse up and down events.

Use a label on top of the rectangle for your caption and be sure to set the same click and mouse up/down events on the label.

Hey Gus!

I'm not sure what trouble you are having but I clicked on the URL you included in you post and my browser took right to the sight. Maybe it was offline for a while yesterday?

Actually,

I like BoxHead's idea. Don't know why I never used it. I can create an array of different types of buttons like this.
