ListBox.BorderColor Property (Access)
You can use the BorderColor property to specify the color of a control's border. Read/write Long.
Syntax
expression .BorderColor
expression A variable that represents a ListBox object.
Remarks
The BorderColor property setting is a numeric expression that corresponds to the color you want to use for a control's border.
You can set the default for this property by using a control's default control style or the DefaultControl property in Visual Basic.
A control's border color is visible only when its SpecialEffect property is set to Flat or Shadowed. If the SpecialEffect property is set to something other than Flat or Shadowed, setting the BorderColor property changes the SpecialEffect property setting to Flat.
Example
The following example uses the RGB function to set the BorderColor, BackColor, and ForeColor properties depending on the value of the txtPastDue text box. You can also use the QBColor function to set these properties. Putting the following code in the Form_Current( ) event sets the control display characteristics as soon as the user opens a form or moves to a new record.
Sub Form_Current()
Dim curAmntDue As Currency, lngBlack As Long
Dim lngRed As Long, lngYellow As Long, lngWhite As Long
If Not IsNull(Me!txtPastDue.Value) Then
curAmntDue = Me!txtPastDue.Value
Else
Exit Sub
End If
lngRed = RGB(255, 0, 0)
lngBlack = RGB(0, 0, 0)
lngYellow = RGB(255, 255, 0)
lngWhite = RGB(255, 255, 255)
If curAmntDue > 100 Then
Me!txtPastDue.BorderColor = lngRed
Me!txtPastDue.ForeColor = lngRed
Me!txtPastDue.BackColor = lngYellow
Else
Me!txtPastDue.BorderColor = lngBlack
Me!txtPastDue.ForeColor = lngBlack
Me!txtPastDue.BackColor = lngWhite
End If
End Sub
