Changing the Color of Command Buttons

Changing the Color of Command Buttons

Why Trust Us

Question:
Is there a way to make command buttons appear in the color I choose, rather than the color selected in Windows > Display Properties > Appearance > 3DObjects?

Command buttons have no BackColor property and the documentation says that colors for some items, such as system menus, cannot be changed. Is that true of CommandButtons? I hope not; I don’t like “clashing” buttons?and they don’t look very professional on a distributed app.

Answer:
The background color of command buttons in Windows is determined by the Windows Color Scheme. Visual FoxPro therefore does not allow the color to be changed.
