How can I specify one of my custom colors in code?

[eprunner06]

I would like to be able to change the color of a certain line on my form when an option button is clicked. The color is a custom color that I created. (you know, one of those that goes down in the extra white spaces in the pallette) Well anyway how can i make the line change to one of those colors when i click the option button.
Thanks!

Are you talking about a "line" or are you talking about a line of text (Label).

It's the same both ways, just use the .backcolor, .forecolor properties for the label and the .bordercolor for the line.

use the RGB function....eg

object.line (125,521)-(521,125),RGB(123,321,213)

obviously you have to susbtitute the "(123,321,213)" with you custom colours(if you're american, then 'colors' )

forgot to include example:

Line.BorderColor = &H8080FF

That's how you assign the color with Hex

If you are using the Line Control and the CommonDialog Control you set the BorderColor of the Line Control to the Color property of the CommonDialog control...

Private Sub Form_Load()
    On Error Resume Next
    CommonDialog1.CancelError = True
    CommonDialog1.ShowColor
    If Err.Number = cdlCancel Then Exit Sub
    Line1.BorderColor = CommonDialog1.Color
End Sub
