Title Bar color?

[kinjalgp]

Is it possible to change the color of the title bar of a form to something shady other than solid blue?

Change the colour of the title bar

Incase you get lazy and not look, like I almost did, here is the code:

Private Declare Function SetSysColors Lib "user32" _
(ByVal nChanges As Long, lpSysColor As _
Long, lpColorValues As Long) As Long 
     
Private Const COLOR_SCROLLBAR = 0 'The Scrollbar colour
Private Const COLOR_BACKGROUND = 1 'Colour of the background with no wallpaper
Private Const COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION = 2 'Caption of Active Window
Private Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION = 3 'Caption of Inactive window
Private Const COLOR_MENU = 4 'Menu
Private Const COLOR_WINDOW = 5 'Windows background
Private Const COLOR_WINDOWFRAME = 6 'Window frame
Private Const COLOR_MENUTEXT = 7 'Window Text
Private Const COLOR_WINDOWTEXT = 8 '3D dark shadow (Win95)
Private Const COLOR_CAPTIONTEXT = 9 'Text in window caption
Private Const COLOR_ACTIVEBORDER = 10 'Border of active window
Private Const COLOR_INACTIVEBORDER = 11 'Border of inactive window
Private Const COLOR_APPWORKSPACE = 12 'Background of MDI desktop
Private Const COLOR_HIGHLIGHT = 13 'Selected item background
Private Const COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT = 14 'Selected menu item
Private Const COLOR_BTNFACE = 15 'Button
Private Const COLOR_BTNSHADOW = 16 '3D shading of button
Private Const COLOR_GRAYTEXT = 17 'Grey text, of zero if dithering is used.
Private Const COLOR_BTNTEXT = 18 'Button text
Private Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT = 19 'Text of inactive window
Private Const COLOR_BTNHIGHLIGHT = 20 '3D highlight of button

Public Sub SetTitleColour(lngColour As Long)
  ' Set the system colour for the title bar
  SetSysColors(1, COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION, lngColour)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdSetColour_Click()
  SetTitleColor RGB(255,0,0)
End Sub
