TControl.Color Property

Specifies the background color of the control.

Pascal

property Color: TColor;

C++

__property TColor Color;

Description

Use Color to read or change the background color of the control.

If a control's ParentColor property is true, then changing the Color property of the control's parent automatically changes the Color property of the control. When the value of the Color property is changed, the control's ParentColor property is automatically set to false.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*

using the Color dialog box. The example displays the Color 
dialog box when the Button1 button is clicked, allowing the
user to select a color with the dialog box. When a color 
value is selected with the dialog box, it is assigned to 
the shape control.
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  if (ColorDialog1->Execute())
    Shape1->Brush->Color = ColorDialog1->Color;
