popupcontrol and setting the color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am trying to set the background color of a popupcontrolitem to the VB
system defined constant vbActiveTitleBar. However whatever direction I
take it always comes out the wrong color. Anybody want to tell me what
I am doing wrong....?

I have tried converting the value to the RGB values and using them but that doesnt work.

I have tried simply pasting the long value in the background parameter place, but that doesnt work...

????
