Option Buttons and colors

Geoff

Hi

I posted this in the developers ng without response.

Anyone know what the centre or click areas of Option Buttons or CheckBoxes
are called and how they can be addressed?

This is in the context of changing the backcolors of other controls such as
textboxes. These click areas seem to remain the same color as the
application colors set for Excel in the Display Panel and sometimes stand out
like a sore thumb against the rest of a form.

T.I.A.

If you use controls from the Control Toolbox you can set the backcolor
property

Hi Bob and RB Smissaert
Backcolor only addresses the area surrounding the click area, in other words
where the text for the control is, as far as i can tell. Please tell me if i
am wrong. I am trying to address the area where the black point or tick
appears when clicked.

Looks you are right there.
I thought there was a way to alter the color of the circle itself, but can't
see it now.
Maybe you could simulate option buttons with small text boxes.

Hi RBS and Bob
Wayyyyyy back i thought i had seen a piece that did something like that but
with a command button overlay and used zorder but for the life of me i cannot
find it anymore. In the meantime i just hoped some smart person may well
have got a simpler workaround.

Thanks to you and Bob for the comments. To Bob a second no no from MS today
re palette colors as well :) :)
