How to set/retrieve Windows System Colors Using API and VBA
I haven't tried this but these are the calls directly from VB programming
with the windows API by Pappas & Murray
Declare Function GetSysColor Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Const COLOR_ACTIVEBORDER = 10
Const COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION = 2
Const COLOR_APPWORKSPACE = 12
Const COLOR_BACKGROUND = 1
Const COLOR_BTNFACE = 15
Const COLOR_BTNHIGHLIGHT = 20
Const COLOR_BTNSHADOW = 16
Const COLOR_BTNTEXT = 18
Const COLOR_CAPTIONTEXT = 9
Const COLOR_GRAYTEXT = 17
Const COLOR_HIGHLIGHT = 13
Const COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT = 14
Const COLOR_INACTIVEBORDER= 11
Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION = 3
Const COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT = 19
Const COLOR_MENU = 4
Const COLOR_MENUTEXT = 7
Const COLOR_SCROLLBAR = 0
Const COLOR_WINDOW = 5
Const COLOR_WINDOWFRAME = 6
Const COLOR_WINDOWTEXT = 8
Hope this helps
