Command button color

[carmined58]

Can anyone please tell me how to change the color of a command button, other than using a bmp, jpg, or using a label to cover it? Thank you.

You can change the ForeColor (the text) but you cannot change the background color, short of changing Windows colors.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its &quot;by design&quot; so that the basics of the UI respect the user's Windows settings; it would be nice to have the option, though. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

If you don't mind to use the label inside a container, this could be one way to get what you want:<br>-1- create a container (this is your &quot;command button's&quot; background with all properties & methods you need -but the most important might be the code in its CLICK event because you will simulate the label's click event with this event)<br>-2- add a label inside the container with its BACKSTYLE='Transparent' and in its CLICK event, add:<br>THIS.PARENT.CLICK()
