Setting

Visual Basic uses the Microsoft Windows environment RGB scheme for colors.  The BorderColor property has the following range of settings:

Range of settings       Description

 

Normal RGB colors     Colors specified by using the Color palette11468R9, or by using the RGBLANRGB or QBColorNYS7SU functions in code.

System default colors  Colors specified with system color constants from CONSTANT.TXT, a Visual Basic file that specifies system defaults.  The Windows environment substitutes the user's choices, as specified in the user's Control Panel settings.

 

The default setting for BorderColor is the WINDOW_TEXT system default color, as specified in CONSTANT.TXT.

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 three 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 is not 0, Visual Basic uses the system colors, as defined in the user's Control Panel and enumerated in CONSTANT.TXT.
