SftButton/OCX 3.0 - Button Control

BackColorHoverStart Property, SftButton Object

Defines the control's gradient fill background color when the mouse cursor hovers over the control (combined with BackColorHoverEnd).

Syntax

Get

VB.NET	Clr = object.BackColorHoverStart As System.Drawing.Color
VB	Clr = object.BackColorHoverStart As OLE_COLOR
C#.NET	System.Drawing.Color Clr = object.BackColorHoverStart;
VC++	OLE_COLOR Clr = object->BackColorHoverStart; OLE_COLOR Clr = object->GetBackColorHoverStart();
C	HRESULT object->get_BackColorHoverStart(OLE_COLOR* Clr);

Put

VB.NET	object.BackColorHoverStart = Clr As System.Drawing.Color
VB	object.BackColorHoverStart = Clr As OLE_COLOR
C#.NET	System.Drawing.Color object.BackColorHoverStart = Clr;
VC++	OLE_COLOR object->BackColorHoverStart = Clr; void object->PutBackColorHoverStart(OLE_COLOR Clr);
C	HRESULT object->put_BackColorHoverStart(OLE_COLOR Clr);

object

A SftButton object.

Clr

Defines the control's gradient fill background color when the mouse cursor hovers over the control (combined with BackColorHoverEnd). For information about color properties, please visit the applicable section "Using SftButton/OCX with ...".

Comments

The BackColorHoverStart property defines the control's gradient fill background color when the mouse cursor hovers over the control (combined with BackColorHoverEnd).

This property has no effect if Windows themes are used.

The FillOrientation defines the gradient fill orientation. The BackColorHoverEnd property is the ending color value (right or bottom).

If both BackColorHoverStart and BackColorHoverEnd define valid starting and ending colors, these take precedence and the BackColorHover property has no effect. On display devices that do not support gradient fills or if fewer than 65K colors are available, the BackColorHover property is used instead.
