Version Information

Version Added: Access 2010

Syntax

expression .BackShade

expression A variable that represents a TextBox object.

Remarks

The BackShade property contains a numeric expression that can be used to darken the theme color in the BackColor property. The default value of the BackShade property is 100, which is neutral, and does not change the theme color. To darken the color, first determine the percentage by which to darken from 1 to 100, then subtract that value as a whole number from 100 and use the remainder. For example, to darken the theme color by 75%, subtract 75 from 100 and use the remainder, which is 25.

This property is not surfaced in the property sheet.

Example

The following code example darkens BackColor by 75%.

Me.ctl.BackShade=25
