change cmd button color

Question

Can we change the color of command button in property? If not, where to change it? Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

Hi there,

here are some properties you may wanna use:

Me.cmdButton.FontBold = True

Me.cmdButton.Caption = "This is a Button"

Me.cmdButton.ForeColor = vbBlue

Me.cmdButton.FontSize = 16

Me.cmdButton.FontUnderline = True

Here the BackColor, in case you´re going to move to Access2010

Me.cmdButton.BackColor = vbRed 'works with Access 2010 only!

No, but you can make one that is transparent, and put a colored rectangle control underneath it.

Use a label control behind the button - you can change the color and text.

You can use an unattached label control if you wish.  The control has click and double click event, but it does not have the ability to get the focus so all the events of a command button are not available on a label.
