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...

????

Workaround

Private Declare Function GetSysColor Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

Debug.Print GetSysColor(vbActiveTitleBar And Not &H80000000)
Debug.Print GetSysColor(vbWindowBackground And Not &H80000000)
