I have a background to my form i want to select that color and apply to my text forecolr.

I know I ask this all the time, but I can't remember - what version of VB are you using? VB6 and VB.Net handle colours very differently.

Also, do you just want to pick up the BackColor, or pull out the colour of a pixel in a background picture?

Yeah i want to pick a color of a pixel. Actually my form has a background made on Photoshop and i want to pick the color of that and then set that color to my button or to my textbox.
Using VB6.
Thanx

Hello all,

The background on my form is not on the whole form it is just on a side of the form.

Thanx

In VB6, you would have just used the form's .Point() method to pick up the colour at a specified location. But I think this works differently in later versions.
