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 palette , or by using the RGB or QBColor 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.
