Setting the background colour
Normally, you will just set the background colour at design time, using the properties window, however, you can also set the background colour by changing the BackColor property:
Label1.BackColor = ColourCode
Visual Basic uses Hexadecimal code to specify control colours, for example &H80000006& is black. Unless you want to learn hexadecimal code you can use the QBColor Function.
Label1.BackColor = QBColor(Number)
Where number is one of the following:
|

3 |
