Change the look of a button.

[Guest]

Hello all,

Can you take a button, color it green, have the user click on it, change the
color to red, to show it has been selected. IF so, how?

As always, thank in advance!

If Button1.BackColor.ToArgb = Color.Red.ToArgb Then
Button1.BackColor = Color.Green

Button1.BackColor = Color.Red
End If

Easy, Trap the button click event and change the backcolor

Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click

btnSave.backcolor = system.drawing.color.red

End Sub

Hope is helps
