    I would like to change the Backcolor of my textboxes following a click event. The example shows using RGB values but the actual Properties Box shows a value of &H8000000F&. I'm guessing this is a hex code of sorts but I'm not sure how to conver ti RGB. Anyone give me a hint?

    Dim r As Byte, g As Byte, b As Byte
    'split color into rgb components
    r = (c Mod 256 ^ 2) Mod 256
    g = (c Mod 256 ^ 2) \ 256
    b = c \ 256 ^ 2

    But actually the 4th byte (&H80) designates a "system color", which you would probably need to read
    the registry for.
    Look up Color Constants in VB Help.

    Thanks for the tip on what to search for in "Help". The value I was looking for equates to "vbButtonFace". I have learned something new today !
