Not supported.

A possible solution is to set a Checkbox control to Graphical which makes it look like a button. Checkbox control has a forecolor property that you can change.

Ok now let me get this straight...

i use VB6 all the time at school (BTW I'm not at school right now) but i thing if its the colour of the text that you want to change

eg. "command 1" needs to be green instead of black

then go to the properties of the command button and change the forecolour to green.

if its the back colour you want to change then you should change the style (i think) from "1 Standard" to "2 Graphical" (or something like that {i cant remember exactly but i'll check next time I'm at school}) and then after that change the back colour of the command button to the desired colour.

i hope that helps.

if that doesn't work then i'll get the correct working form school on Monday (BTW i'm in Oz so today is Saturday for me)

That property is not supported in VB 6.0.

You can do that if using .NET

orlese do as already suggested by VBPhilly.
