background color

i have a specific color, in the RGB or hex code that i want to use. How do i specify this color for the background of one of my forms. I want it to be exactly this color...

Also, how do i open a new form?
i thought it was "Show Form2" but i guess it's not...

Form Code:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Me.BackColor = &H8000000F
    'you can also set this in form properties
End Sub

---

If you have added a new form (Form2):

Code:

---

Load Form2
Form2.Show

---

You can do this

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Load()
    Form2.BackColor = Form1.BackColor
End Sub

---

Good luck, Matt-D(eutschland)

Try This


' color setting
form1.backcolor = RGB(128,0,0) 'set backcolor red
' load and opens form
form1.show


' explanation of RGB(128,0,0)
RGB(Red as Integer, Green as Integer, Blue as Integer) as Long

how do i convert my rgb code to the one that looks like &H8000000F ?

Code:

---

?"&H" & Hex(((blue * &H100) + green) * &H100 + red)

---

i must really be out of it... i don't get that code... i understand it, but i can't get it to work...

can someone tell me what the vb code for the color #003366 or RGB: red=0, green=51, blue=102

this is the color i need, but i can't seem to get any of it to work...

Whats the problem? I mean that hex code you gave is red:102 and blue:0, how did you get those values?
