Where are the colours for Windows default?

[albycindy]

I have read somewhere that I can program my forms to have the same colours as
the user chooses in their Appearances choices, ie, same colour scheme.

But I can't find it back!!!

Does anyone know where I can find this info?

TIA

Sorry, I couldn't find a reference without Hex codes, but note that you can
convert the hex codes to Long Integers like:

?CLng("&H80000000")
-2147483648

In other words, use the CLng function, passing the Hex value as a string.
