That doesn't sound like a commonplace ActiveX control. It may only exist on computers with a particular program installation.
There is no ForeColor property for command button controls. There is an article that discusses how to create the effect of another label placed directly over a command control, with forecolour support.

This code is lengthy, and I personally would not use it myself. A simple alternative is to create a picture of your own
with text included for the command button; assign the picture to the command button's
Picture property; set the
Style property to "1 - Graphical"; and make sure that the
Caption property is set to null (not used). You may also wish to assign a picture to the button's
DownPicture property, which becomes visible when the command button is depressed/pushed down.
