Colleagues,
In the "ol' good days", to change a back color of an object (say, a command button, text box, or even a form), all you needed to do was to assign RGB() value to the object.BackColor property.
But now, when I tried cmdMyButton.BackColor = RGB(0,156,0) I got the follwing error msg:

2024-04-11_BackColor_Wont_Take_RGB_lop6uf.jpg


Search in MS Help didn't brought any workable responses...
All I could discern is that the controls now accept only Color structure (? or I'm mistaken?) that I couldn't find comprehensive explanations for...

Hence the Q. in the Subject line.

AHWBGA!

Regards,

Ilya
 
cmdMyButton.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 156, 0)
 
Thank you!
The issue's resolved.
Case's being closed.

This is just my opinion, but I see it way too often: people change back colors of controls and they end up with way too many of them with each of different color. The screen looks like someone ate a box of Crayons and then, well… all of that ended up on the screen.
