go to command button property

And use style as

1-Graphical

Now cahnge font is displayes on the command button

[binilmb]

To Change the Font Color You Need to Use the CommandButton1 Control in "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" in the Components.

You check it yourself Shakti. That wont work. binilmb is right you have to use Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library and change color using forecolor property

[cyber_alex]

setup the graphic like you do with all objects...but remember to set that graphic thing.

Actually there's no graphical property for Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library

[binilmb]

There is no Style Property for CommandButton1 in "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library". There is Font "ForeColor" Property with Which you can change the Font Color

why using without using u can do it there is no need for it

hello shakti5385

[shakti5385]

change it's style as graphical from properties

and now change the back colour

soory in this way we are not able to cahnge font colour but we are able to cahnge the

back colour of command button


soory for mistake

i was confused

thanks all for solving my comfusion

[binilmb]

ok shakti5385, i wonder how you do it without api.

[shakti5385]

Its Enough Yaar

shakti5385 was close - just the wrong control

use a checkbox. Set it's style to Graphical and then you have control over forecolor. Just remember to have something like this in the click event:

Private Sub Check1_Click()
    If Check1.Value = vbChecked Then
        Check1.Value = vbUnchecked
        
        ' Code for 'Button' Click event
    
    End If
End Sub

To Change the Font Color You Need to Use the CommandButton1 Control in "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" in the Components.

Or you can use Threed32.ocx that will change the button ForeColor easy.

There are a lot of nice features of Threed32.ocx, its a pitting it isn't used that much.

Its on the VB6 CD, do a search.

ok shakti5385, i wonder how you do it without api.

You don't do it without API....if fact, you have to subclass the entire control to do it. The same thing is required for changing the Backcolor, only, Microsoft did all of that work for you, but, not for the ForeColor.

Change Command Button Forecolor

[bushmobile]

that's just a similar example of what I posted Hack,

did you mean: WM_DRAWITEM: Set Command Button ForeColor

Oops. Didn't see it.

thanks shakti5385...it worked! i found the commandbutton control in obj library...im now able to change the font colour and make the button transparent...

[bushmobile]

If you wouldn't mind clearing this up for me - what method are you using? the commandbutton in Forms 2.0 Object Library?

If so, be aware that the Microsoft Form2 2.0 Object Library is non-redistributable, and you can not include it in an installation package. It comes with MSOffice and if MSOffice is not installed then it will not work.

There is some way of getting round it - i'll see if i can find it.

[Greyskull]

sorz for not making it clear....

ive used the command button control in the Microsoft Form 2.0 Object Library

i was able to change its font colour using the Forecolour option in the properties

thanx for d advice tho...i wont prob need to redistribute it to other computr but if u can tell me how to then it'll be great

thanx in advance

Found it.

Here's the info about Fm20.dll (that's the dll in question) - there's a link from there to the Microsoft ActiveX Control Pad which is free and fm20.dll is part of the install.
