Use these events:
Private Sub Button1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.GotFocus
Button1.BackColor = .....
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.LostFocus
Button1.BackColor = .....
End Sub
Hope it helps

Stefan,
As Chris suggests you can use the GotFocus & LostFocus events for this.
To minimize duplicate code I would consider using:
1. a single event handler for all controls
2. derived controls
3. an ExtenderProvider (implement System.Component.IExtenderProvider)
With #1 you need to add the same "handler" on each form, plus wire all the
controls to the handler.
With #2 you need to derive from every control & remember to use these custom
controls.
With #3 its more work to create the Provider itself (then a single derived
control), however it is then really easy to use the provider on multiple
forms.
I normally favor #2 as invariable I am adding other customizations to the
controls...
Both #2 & #3 are "designer friendly"!
Hope this helps
