. The Color dialog box appears. To
customize a color, enter a number from 0 to 255 in the text boxes (
Hue
,
Sat
,
Lum
,
Red
,
Green
, and
Blue
). Or, drag the crosshair across the Color
box.
See “Adding Color to a Form” on page 92 for more information about
the Color dialog box and how to add color to a form’s background.
As long as your program is open, you can store up to eight custom colors
in your
Color
drop-down palette. Each time you choose a custom color
and click
OK
, the new custom color is stored in the area below the 40-
color drop-down palette. This makes it easy to use a variety of custom
colors in your form.
You can also change the colors of your object. See “Adjusting Colors” on
page 94 for more information.
