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:
