VB.Net, Setting a control's backcolor to a system color in code

Setting a control's backcolor to a system color in code

Joann #1 / 3	Setting a control's backcolor to a system color in code I want to set the backcolor of a control to the System Window color. When you pick a color in the designer, you can choose between 3 tabs: Custom, Web, and System. I am able to access the web colors in code: Example: txtTest.BackColor = Color.White However, I want to access the System colors in code so that I can set the backcolor to the System Window color. How can this be done? Thanks, Joanna
