Normally, you will want to set the background colour at design time. To do this, simply set the backcolor property in the properties window. To set the background colour a runtime, change the BackColor property use the following syntax:
Text1.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.
Text1.BackColor = QBColor(Number)
Where number is one of the following:
|
Number |

2 |

3 |
