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

hey terry, there is an easier way...

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

 
private sub button1_click(BlaBlaBla) handles BlaBlaBLa
 
dim aa as integer
 
aa = int (rnd () * 5) + 1
 
if aa = 1 then
button1.backcolor = blue (or what ever the code is for blue)
 
elseif aa = 2 then
button1.backcolor = green
 
elseif aa = 3 then
button1.backcolor = red
 
elseif aa = 4 then
button1.backcolor = yellow
 
elseif aa = 5 then
button1.backcolor = orange
 
endif
 
 

i hope this works, if it doesn't then PM me and i'll figure it out

ok then cya
