Set Custom BackColor of Textbox

[wakh]

Hi Guys,

I would like to know how to set the backcolor of a textbox to custom color through code (i.e. to colors other than the ones listed in color object) in Visual Basic 2008?. In Visual Basic 6 we use to supply hex value and it was done. I can confirm it can be done because the color dialog of backcolor property allows it.

Awaiting your helpful replies...

Best Regards,
wakh

It's very easy to learn this by setting a custom color in design mode and then looking at your designer.vb for the form. This is the decimal version.

Me.textBox1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CType(CType(255, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(128, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(128, Byte), Integer))

Thanks BanditSteve.

I found a simpler way i.e. :

TextBox1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 234)
