Heya, Terry. Welcome to TSDN!

Please use CODE tags when posting source code. See the REPLY GUIDELINES on the right side of the page next time you post.

I'm going to go ahead and move this thread to the Visual Basic forum, where our resident Experts will be better able to help you out.

See this thread for an intro to random numbers. Just look at my posts that deal with .NET. You've found and used the Color class; now, you just need to create a new Color object and set the Red, Green, and Blue components to a random number. HTH --Sam

say you want 5 different colours to randomly be the back colour..

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. private sub button1_click(BlaBlaBla) handles BlaBlaBLa
  3.  
  4. dim aa as integer
  5.  
  6. aa = int (rnd () * 5) + 1
  7.  
  8. if aa = 1 then
  9. button1.backcolor = blue (or what ever the code is for blue)
  10.  
  11. elseif aa = 2 then
  12. button1.backcolor = green
  13.  
  14. elseif aa = 3 then
  15. button1.backcolor = red
  16.  
  17. elseif aa = 4 then
  18. button1.backcolor = yellow
  19.  
  20. elseif aa = 5 then
  21. button1.backcolor = orange
  22.  
  23. endif
  24.  
  25.

Hello, I have multiple forms in my access application. I want all the forms to have consistent formatting for fields appearing on the forms (i.e. same background color, fonts, font color etc).

Hi All, I was wondering if somebody could post a few lines of code which would produce random colors, which will be used in defining different regions on a mesh. So in addition to having n random colors, I feel that there should also be some condition to ensure that they aren't too similar in appearance, given that is likely to range from 2-20 say. Any help much appreciated,

Anyone do any tests on it? I would assume it has improved since C's rand(), but who knows. For some reason, and it could just be coincidence, I seem to see patterns. But even a crappy rand() function should be good enough to avoid that, so i may be seeing things. Zytan

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
