BackColor

Returns the background colour the container would like its embedded controls to use by default, as an stdole.OLE_COLOR. Read-only.

Syntax: object.BackColor

object
required An object expression that evaluates to an AmbientProperties object.

A control that does not have its own background colour explicitly set should paint its background using this colour, so that it blends in with the surrounding container. The value is an OLE_COLOR: an RGB value, a system-colour reference, or a palette-index reference. Pass it through TranslateColor to obtain a plain RGB value if needed.
