Hi Brian,

he's trying to convert what people now think of as "HTML Colors" to a color
her can use in the app

And I have a routine for it however JavaScript and was curious if I would
spent some time in it, however I saw it is not needed.

What is ff808040? A String? Integer?

Have a look at Color.FromARGB and Convert.ToInt32(<string>, 16)

Isn't it just...

Dim col As System.Drawing.Color
ColorDialog1.ShowDialog()
col = ColorDialog1.Color
Me.BackColor = col

(....I've never used the ColorDialog before so I may have something
fundamentally wrong.)

Hi,

Button1.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(&HFF808040)
