A screen for what and using what language?

In Visual Basic there is a property in the form that is called "BackColor." You can set up the Color Common Dialog Box and allow the user to choose a color, then right this code

form.BackColor=CommonDialog1.Color

This will change the form that has the form name that you typed in and change the backcolor to the color the user choose

To change to a pre-specified color (one you specify in the code) Use this code:

form.BackColor=QBColor(0)

This would change to specified form's Backcolor to the QBColor (Quick Basic Color) of Black (0)

Here is a Color chart for QBColors:

Black 0
Blue 1
Green 2
Cyan 3
Red 4
Magenta 5
Yellow 6
White 7
Gray 8
Light Blue 9
Light green 10
Light cyan 11
Light red 12
Light magenta 13
Light yellow 14
Bright White 15
