[Help]Form Background Color[Solved]

[Shark23]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to change the form color in the coding. When I use the

frmMain.Backcolor.ColorRed

command it has an error telling me that I need to use the

Me.

command. When I use that, it says it cannot instance itself in the code. Is there a way I can do this or should I just put a panel covering the form and recolor that?

[php]
Me.BackColor = Color.red
[/php]

Also quite helpful

Edit: how would you create it so that A. it would read a color diaglor box then change the background or B. when user types "blue" into textbox 3 it changes the back ground.

I like A better, any ideas nextgen or anyone

[php]
Protected Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim Bcolor As New ColorDialog()
Bcolor.ShowDialog()
me.BackColor = Bcolor.Color
End Sub
[/php]

Hope this helps
