BorderColor Property
See Also Example Applies To
Returns or sets the color of an object's border.
Syntax
object.BorderColor [= color]
The BorderColor property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| color | A value or constant that determines the border color, as described in Settings. |
Settings
Visual Basic uses the Microsoft Windows operating environment red-green-blue (RGB) color scheme. The settings for color are:
| Setting | Description |
| Normal RGB colors | Colors specified using the Color palette or by using the RGB or QBColor functions in code. |
| System default colors | Colors specified by system color constants listed in the Visual Basic (VB) object library in the Object Browser. The system default color is specified by the vbWindowText constant. The Windows operating environment substitutes the user's choices as specified in the Control Panel settings. |
Remarks
The valid range for a normal RGB color is 0 to 16,777,215 (&HFFFFFF). The high byte of a number in this range equals 0; the lower 3 bytes, from least to most significant byte, determine the amount of red, green, and blue, respectively. The red, green, and blue components are each represented by a number between 0 and 255 (&HFF). If the high byte isn't 0, Visual Basic uses the system colors, as defined in the user's Control Panel settings and by constants listed in the Visual Basic (VB) object library in the Object Browser.
